Seite 3 - In a year the wings were finished; and on a morning appointed the maker appeared furnished for flight on a little promontory. He waved his pinions a while to gather air, then leaped from his stand, and in an instant dropped into the lake.
Seite 3 - The labour of rising from the ground, said the artist, will be great, as we see it in the heavier domestic fowls; but as we mount higher, the earth's attraction, and the body's gravity, will be gradually diminished, till we shall arrive at a region, where the man will float in the air, without any tendency to fall: no care will then be necessary but to move forwards, which the gentlest impulse will effect.
