Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;

Till the stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed....”

And the flat Earth becomes a Ball.”

“Personal beauty is then first charming and itself, when it dissatisfies us with any end; when it becomes a story without an end; when it suggests gleams and visions, and not earthly satisfactions; when it makes the beholder feel his unworthiness; when he cannot feel his right to it, though he were Caesar; he cannot feel more right to it than to the firmament and the splendors of a sunset.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
