A Trip to Venus
"The heaven that rolls around cries aloud to you while it displays
its eternal harmony, and yet your eyes are fixed upon the earth
alone."
DANTE.
"This truth within thy mind rehearse,
That in a boundless universe
Is boundless better, boundless worse.
"Think you this mould of hopes and fears
Could find no statelier than his peers
In yonder hundred million spheres?"
TENNYSON.
