Star Flowers

Astronomers become disoriented…

…between the stars above and the stars below.

The ones below are merely flowers that bloom at night to attract moths. By morning, moth and flowers will be dead. Timing is important.

The stars bloom continuously and fade slowly; it takes billions of years. They are aloof and unapproachable.

They are both worth study. A middle course is not advised.

A Nightingale

10 Août 2012

"A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley
("In Defense of Poetry")
