“The Heavens. Once an object of superstition, awe and fear. Now a vast region for growing knowledge. The distance of Venus, the atmosphere of Mars, the size of Jupiter, and the speed of Mercury. All this and more we know. But their greatest mystery the heavens have kept a secret. What sort of life, if any, inhabits these other planets? Human life, like ours? Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher.”

—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“She had thought the studio would keep itself;
no dust upon the furniture of love.

the panes relieved of grime.”
