The Statue of Libert was officially dedicated #OTD in 1886. There is a history of flight demonstrations around the Statue of Liberty, including one by Wilbur Wright in 1909, depicted in this Dean Mosher painting on display in our "Early Flight" gallery: s.si.edu/3USTD76

Today in 1911, Orville Wright set a world soaring flight record of 9 minutes and 45 seconds at Kitty Hawk, NC. This picture via @librarycongress shows Orville soaring in level flight while spectators watch on.

“What about a story?” said Christopher Robin. “Could you very sweetly tell Winnie-the-Pooh one?”
“I suppose I could,” I said. “What sort of stories does he like?”
“About himself. Because he’s that sort of Bear.”
“I’ll try,” I said.
So I tried. ~A.A.Milne

La sera del 3 ottobre di 800 anni fa moriva San Francesco d'Assisi.
"Tu sei santo, Signore solo Dio,
che operi cose meravigliose.
Tu sei forte, Tu sei grande, Tu sei altissimo.
Tu sei re onnipotente, Tu, Padre santo,
re del cielo e della terra.
Tu sei trino ed uno, Signore Dio degli dei,
Tu sei il bene, ogni bene, il sommo bene,
il Signore Dio vivo e vero.
Tu sei amore e carità, Tu sei sapienza,
Tu sei umiltà, Tu sei pazienza,
Tu sei bellezza, Tu sei mansuetudine,
Tu sei sicurezza, Tu sei quiete.
Tu sei gaudio e letizia, Tu sei nostra speranza, Tu sei giustizia.
Tu sei temperanza,
Tu sei tutta la nostra ricchezza a sufficienza.
Tu sei bellezza, Tu sei mansuetudine.
Tu sei protettore, Tu sei custode e nostro difensore,
Tu sei fortezza, Tu sei refrigerio.
Tu sei la nostra speranza, Tu sei la nostra fede.
Tu se la nostra carità.
Tu sei tutta la nostra dolcezza,
Tu sei la nostra vita eterna, grande e ammirabile Signore,
Dio onnipotente, misericordioso Salvatore".
