| Starry Night Over the Rhone, Vincent Van Gogh |
There is way too much winter out there still!
For your Thorsday Tonic, let's escape this winter-weary planet and journey to the stars!
First, from the poetry corner:
How countlessly they congregate
O'er our tumultuous snow,
Which flows in shapes as tall as trees
When wintry winds do blow!--
As if with keeness for our fate,
Our faltering few steps on
To white rest, and a place of rest
Invisible at dawn,--
And yet with neither love nor hate,
Those starts like somw snow-white
Minerva's snow-white marble eyes
Without the gift of sight.
-Robert Frost
And now for some Morgan Freeman/science/autotune awesomeness!
Quote for the Thorsday win:
"Because what man can imagine, man can do."
(from the talented MelodySheep, Morgan Freeman, Escaping Earth.)
*I hope Morgan Freeman meant "humankind" here but went with "man" for the staccato rhetorical impact - but just to be clear, it's "humankind" in the NiftyUniverse!
