How does the speakers word choice for describing flight have an impact on the poems tone high flight Passage High flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung.

High in the sunlit silence, hov’ring there

I’ve chased the shouting winds along and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long delirious burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark nor ever eagle flew

And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
