Carl Sandburg on Lincoln Beachey, the
most famous man you've never heard of.
Riding against the east,
A veering, steady shadow
Purrs the motor-call
Of the man-bird
In his throat
And in his heart always
The love of the big blue beyond
Only a man,
A far fleck of shadow on the east
Sitting at ease
With his hands on a wheel
And around him the large gray wings,
Keep and deal kindly, O wings,
With the cool, calm shadow at the wheel.
