ABSTRACT

Coblentz, Stanton Our race has want of sages such as these, Whose measuring-rods are light-years, and who say That points a million trillion leagues away Are only as our next-door galaxies.

Heidmann, Jean The distances we are going to embrace are so enormous that galaxies will appear as tiny toys, infinitesimal as the dust-specks dancing in the sunbeam in the crack of the curtain.
