Top of the World

Take the never-ending elevator up the Eiffel Tower and, on a good day, you can see Paris far and wide. This first is looking down at the Palais de Tokyo, which houses a modern art collection.
The second picture with all the bridges below brings to mind the first lines from Apollinaire's poem "Zone":

À la fin tu es las de ce monde ancien
Bergère ô tour Eiffel le troupeau des ponts bêle ce matin
Tu en as assez de vivre dans l’antiquité grecque et romaine
Ici même les automobiles ont l’air d’être anciennes
La religion seule est restée toute neuve la religion
Est restée simple comme les hangars de Port-Aviation

Which translates to: You have grown weary of this bygone world/ This morning Eiffel Tower shepherds, your flocks of bridges bleat/ Too long you have lived with Roman and Greek/ Here, even the cars seem ancient/ Religion alone remains religion fresh-revealed/ Simple like the hangars on a landing field.
...it sounded better in French.

That's right kids, fight for the telescope that neither of you can really reach.
