Reflecting on a different point of view






BORN IN STARS WE LIVE ON EARTH AS POETS   Wm Blake

If our Sun was the size of a grain of sand, the next star would be a day's walk, or 30 kms away.

  1. Which reminds me of a poem (not sure who wrote it Gwil)
    Human language is like a cracked kettle
    on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to,
    when all the time we are longing
    to move the stars to pity.

  2. Pat, thanks for the poem which incidentally is from Gustav Flaubert.

  3. I forgot to say that the quote is from Wm Blake, which I've now acknowledged.
