Epigraph

I open the scuttle at night and see the far-sprinkled systems,
As all I see multiplied as high as I can cipher
edge but the rim of the farther systems.
Wider and wider they spread, expanding, always expanding,
Outward and outward and forever outward.

--Song of Myself
t Whitman (1819-1892) American poet
