This poem I have wanted to turn into film ever since I saw a friend's forum signature "A lonely impulse of delight drove to this tumult in the clouds" but my usual flight sim, IL2, did not have World War I scenarios. Now, with the visually stunning flight sim, Rise of Flight, this finally became a possibility.

  • well done

  • Hey Fellows,

    This one of the best poems I've ever heard ! I remember to have heard it for the first time watching the movie "Memphis Belle", in which it was told by Eric Stoltz before the last mission of the B-17 Memphis Belle over Germany. May be I'm wrong but i feel like echoes from this text (years later) in the poem "Do not go gentle into that good night" from Dylan Thomas. On the web you can find an extraordinary version of this text by Anthony Hopkins.

  • Hey Joe. i have searched for years to find a way to make this poem relevant and meaningful to my classes. i love the way you have interpreted it and will direct them to this site for a fuller understanding than my lessons can give them. Congrats!

  • Nice work Russell.

  • Excellent work! Fantastic visuals and perfectly heartfelt recitation.

  • Amazing! Very nicely done.
