World of Tomorrow

Description

I pressed my face against the glass,
smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail,
glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky
Awaiting the ship they had told me would come,
quietly anticipating that which was to come

I couldn't yet see you. Still obscured by the city
A towers of glass reflected your coming
Silhouetted on the sunrise
Did I blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone, I think it was the first time
Watching you rise splendid and graceful,
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings,
a million faces gazing upwards in wonder

My God that's amazing. the fear and flutter that the man has got in his eyes, and the zeppelin heading towards him. I feel like he's frightened of and can do nothing about populating
that destroy human's individuality. For me he's from the other epoch and feel like stranger in the new era. that's so, so strong. great show of human's situation in a new era population. The fact that it looks like daguerrotype(is it really?) strengtens a feeeling that he's from other period, i love the texture. For me this work is really deep and i truly admire You for this image. I'm strongly touched.
