Analysis of Rocket
Harbinger of restless man,
It leaps away eagerly, upward and out,
Far-faring torch of Prometheus, radiant
Echo across the long crescent of centuries,
Daring black regions, blazing a path
through smoldering kingdoms of emptiness,
Ambassador plenipotentiary
From Earth to the universe at large!
