Famous quotes containing the words galaxy and/or cloud:

    “for it is not so much to know the self
    as to know it as it is known
    by galaxy and cedar cone,
    as if birth had never found it

    and death could never end it:”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “Hearing the low sound
    of a cloud scattering rain
    at midnight
    and thinking for an eternity
    on his absent young wife,
    a traveller heaved a sigh
    and with a flood of tears
    howled the whole night long.
    Now, villagers won’t let him stay
    in their place anymore.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
