Читать книгу The Plurality of Worlds - William Whewell - Страница 2

On Nature's Alps I stand,

And see a thousand firmaments beneath!

A thousand systems, as a thousand grains!

So much a stranger, and so late arrived,

How shall man's curious spirit not inquire

What are the natives of this world sublime,

Of this so distant, unterrestrial sphere,

Where mortal, untranslated, never strayed?
