“As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion, Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea, So dark when I roam in this wintry world shrouded, The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee.” WorldStillsSoulSpiritTurnsStarsDarkPrayerSilenceSeaSweetFlowerOceanWorshipSilentDevotionMy SoulMortalsTheeRetreatNeedlesTremblingUnheardCloudedSweet Flowers Author:Charles Lamb

“The fact that this chain of life existed [at volcanic vents on the seafloor] in the black cold of the deep sea and was utterly independent of sunlight - previously thought to be the font of all Earth's life - has startling ramifications. If life could flourish there, nurtured by a complex chemical process based on geothermal heat, then life could exist under similar conditions on planets far removed from the nurturing light of our parent star, the Sun.” IfsLifeFactsLightEarthScienceStarsProcessParentBlackSunSeaConditionsPlanetsColdOceanIndependentComplexesChainsHeatChemicalsSunlightNurturingRamificationsDeep SeaFontsGeothermal Author:Robert Ballard

“Eyes are at rest, the stars are setting. Hushed are the stirrings of birds in their nests, Of monsters in the ocean. You are the Just who knows no change, The Balance that can never swerve, The Eternal which never passes away. The doors of Kings are bolted now and guarded by soldiers.

“Nature is the armory of genius.

“Shakespeare was an intellectual ocean, whose waves touched all the shores of thought; within which were all the tides and waves of destiny and will; over which swept all the storms of fate, ambition and revenge; upon which fell the gloom and darkness of despair and death and all the sunlight of content and love, and within which was the inverted sky lit with the eternal stars -- an intellectual ocean -- toward which all rivers ran, and from which now the isles and continents of thought receive their dew and rain.” StarsDestinyDarknessFateSkyDespairOceanAmbitionEternalIntellectualRainRiversAnd LoveWaveStormRevengeRanTouchedShoreTidesSunlightContinentsLitDewGloomIsleInverted Book:The Works of Robert G.
