The inspiration for this video was derived from a purely visual attraction to work with imagery from "The City (Part II) (1939)" and how I could "paint" and overlay sections of the video to hint at a poetic meaning...not a literal story. After the fact, I realized that "Airplane" had in it elements of my most favorite poem - draw whatever conclusions you want.

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea."
- from Little Gidding (No. 4 of 'Four Quartets') by T. S.Eliot
