I wish I could sew wings for all the people in the world who would otherwise never get the chance to leave the place they are from, just so they could see there's a whole universe out there. (Sometimes it's hard to believe in things greater than the greatest thing we've ever known without seeing it.) I know the Wright brothers had this sort of thing in mind when they invented, but I don't think they ever considered how expensive their wings would become. I would hope to sell my wings at a fairly reasonable price.
Using two wings made from eagle feathers, Hazarfen Ahmet Celebi (which means 1001 wisdom or sciences) flew from the Galata Tower over the Bosphorus to land in Uskudar in the 17th century with the help of the south-west wind.
Maybe the wind carried him that day, or maybe it's true - maybe anything is possible.
