"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid," they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we will fall," they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew."
–– Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic of Polish-Belarusian descent.
