a glider in the sky

Watching the glider flying in the sky reminded me of Chopin's Waltz Op.69 No.2. Could all those lovely nocturnes & valses of Chopin be more beautiful & elegant if he could taste the feeling of flying in the sky?

There were two men I used to think of when I was young. One was Pascal and the other was Saint-Exupéry. Pascal felt himself so diminished and humble when he looked upon the sky standing on earth and he much appreciated and praised the trivialness & shortness of man's life which is out of God's mercy.

Saint-Exupéry on the other hand thought of all those tiny little blinks of simmering light of homes here and there scattered on earth he saws while he was flying in the night as a variety of symbols of love of people living firmly on earth which needs to be cared and be appreciated.

My interpretation over the difference of the two was that whether they had a chance to fly in the sky since I thought that the expansion of space for human to explore has been affecting philosophical and religious aspects of people a lot.
