[Magdalen] Magdalen] neat comparisons

[Heather Angus]

Of course I don't understand black holes either. Heck, I don't even
understand electricity! The last thing mechanical or physical that I
understood was the steam engine. Sort of.

But I see what I see --  through telescope images --  and I can't unsee it,
and I do find it disheartening. I wish I didn't.

As Robinson Jeffers (admittedly not the cheeriest of poets) wrote:

"The earth was the world and man was its measure, but our minds
have looked

Through the little mock-dome of heaven the telescope-slotted
observatory eyeball, there space and multitude came in

And the earth is a particle of dust by a sand-grain sun, lost in a
nameless cove of the shores of a continent."
