flapping-wing machines, called ornithopter's. His
aeronautical work lay unknown until late in the 19

technical value to experimenters but was a source

Perfection An Insult Intellects Are Sick Dante

Dante wants two things: immortality in art and in
heaven. But he realizes that he might not have the
necessary ability to write his Commedia and still
go to heaven. Despite his criticism of those
figures who attempt the impossible, Dante may be
one of them. He may be blasphemous, fraudulent,
harmful, or simply wrong. He is contemptuous of
those who dare exceed their limits because these
characters prove ultimately destructive. Arachne
