/ "The stars are made of the same atoms \
| as the earth." I usually pick one small |
| topic like this to give a lecture on. |
| Poets say science takes away from the |
| beauty of the stars -- mere gobs of gas |
| atoms. Nothing is "mere." I too can see |
| the stars on a desert night, and feel |
| them. But do I see less or more? The |
| vastness of the heavens stretches my |
| imagination -- stuck on this carousel |
| my little eye can catch |
| one-million-year-old light. A vast |
| pattern -- of which I am a part -- |
| perhaps my stuff was belched from some |
| forgotten star, as one is belching |
| there. Or see them with the greater eye |
| of Palomar, rushing all apart from some |
| common starting point when they were |
| perhaps all together. What is the |
| pattern, or the meaning, or the *why?* |
| It does not do harm to the mystery to |
| know a little about it. For far more |
| marvelous is the truth than any artists |
| of the past imagined! Why do the poets |
| of the present not speak of it? What |
| men are poets who can speak of Jupiter |
| if he were like a man, but if he is an |
| immense spinning sphere of methane and |
| ammonia must be silent? |
