All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
Of Iser, rolling rapidly.”

“Men, forever tempted to lift the veil of the futurewith the aid of computers or horoscopes or the intestines of sacrificial animalshave a worse record to show in these sciences than in almost any scientific endeavor.”
—Hannah Arendt (19061975)
“It launchd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be formd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
