“The consolations of space are nameless things.

And then to refill its emptiness again....”

His last award, will have the long grass grow
Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.

Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
Mock tyrants, when Romes annals waxd but dirty.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.”
