Astronomy Quote by Marc Read
““You are my Earth, the centre of my cosmos, the source of all order. I am doomed to orbit you forever, approaching and retreating from you in turn, your Moon, with my face always turned toward you. The whole intricate system dances to a tune that you can hear, have always heard, which I only dimly perceive when I strain my senses to the utmost.””
