By death the moon was gathered in Long ago, ah long ago; Yet still the silver corpse must spin And with another's light must glow.

And all about the cosmic sky, The black that lies beyond our blue, Dead stars innumerable lie, And stars of red and angry hue Not dead but doomed to die. Julian Huxley
