the brief, glorious altitude where joy briefly forgets gravity exists.
means Feeling intensely happy, joyful, and proud — buoyantly lifted by good news or success.
from From Latin elatus, the past participle of efferre, 'to carry out, to lift up' — built from ex- ('out') and ferre ('to carry'). So at its root, to be elated is literally to be carried upward, the same physical lift that the essence catches when joy forgets gravity.
