Analysis of On The Wedding Of An Aeronaut
Ambrose Bierce 1842 (Meigs County) – 1914 (Chihuahua)
Aeronaut, you're fairly caught,
Despite your bubble's leaven:
Out of the skies a lady's eyes
Have brought you down to Heaven!
No more, no more you'll freely soar
Above the grass and gravel:
Henceforth you'll walk-and she will chalk
The line that you're to travel!
