18 May 2022: "I can’t believe that all that majesty and all that beauty, those fated and unfailing appearances and exits, are something more than mathematics and horrible temperatures. If they are not, then we are the only wonderful things, because we can wonder." --Willa Cather, talking about the stars, in a letter to her partner, Edith Lewis.
I really enjoyed this piece by Melissa Homestead (fellow SSAWW member!) which included the letter quoted above. It's well worth a read.
