Latin, Poetry And The Milky Way

Poul Anderson, The Stars Are Also Fire.

Venator quotes more Latin:

"'Ave atque vale.'" (42, p. 518)

Download Dagny quotes Hamlet:

"'"He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf;
At his heels a stone."'" (43, p. 527)

We read more verse from Verdea:

"With your Pacific eye, observe my scars
Of ancient wars.
Your bones remember dinosaurs." (28, p. 373)

"Stonefall, fireflash,
Cenotaph of a seeker.
But the stone has lost the stars
And the stars have lost the stone." (46, p. 555)

We see the Milky Way and Earth from the Moon:

"Stars stood above in their thousands, the galactic frost-bridge, nebulae and sister galaxies aglimmer, but Earth was no more than a blue arc along a wan disc, low above that horizon." (46, pp. 554-555)

And we appreciate Poul Anderson's universes.
