The Latin exclamation hic saltus!  translates as jump here! or show what you are capable of! 

A butterfly-winged person who has climbed to a great height is reminiscent of an elf. The symbolism of elves is related to the Latin origin of the word fata - fate - and represents the winding road destiny takes, and its unpredictable gifts and dangers.

The colors of sunset flare in the sky. The world is fantastic, and the soul of the artist is in flight.

He has but an instant - to jump and take wing

And perhaps lose himself in flight

Above the crystalline forms of blue mountains,

Becoming invisible to sharp eyes and claws.

He starts life anew with the flight of a fairy through bottomless sky

As from a clean sheet of life's paper,

Unmarked with threats posed by the black blots of predatory wings.
