Astronomy Quote by Ian Tregillis

“Enochian was the wail of dying stars, the whisper of galaxies winging through the void, the gurgle of primordial oceans, the crackle of a cooling planet, the thunder of creation. And beneath it all , a simmering undercurrent of malevolence.” quote by Ian Tregillis
