For three millennia he has flown above the earth, over desert and tropics, equator and poles, a witness to everything there is to see. He is old now, and all, excepting the animals, are concerned only with themselves and pay him no mind.

(The old myth I found discouraging. Shoot for the sun, but remain a human being).
