On a clear night, you and I can see some portions of the Milky Way, but what if a view of sparkling stars occurred only once every thousand years? Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote of how then “men [would] believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown!” (“Nature,” in

The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson,

centenary edition [1903], 7).

“What if you slept?

And what if,

in your sleep, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?

And what if,when you awoke,you had the flower in your hand?

Ah, what then?”  

{Samuel Taylor Coleridge }
