a science quote & a poet's statement

"the universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."
~eden phillpotts, "a shadow passes"


"even if it is true that there is nothing new under the sun, the new spirit does not refrain from discovering new profundities in all this that is not new under the sun. good sense is its guide, and this guide leads it into corners, if not new, at least unknown."
~guillaume appolinaire
