Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder.
Carl Sagan (1934–1996) American scientist and writer

The Sodden Astronomer
They say, Do not look at the stars,
or you will step into holes
and sink your shoes in mud.
So you can keep your eyes
fixed on the ground,
safe from puddles,
safe from falling,
and miss the lights
burning above in the dark—
except for a stolen glance,
a hurried sip of heaven.
Or you can throw
caution to the wind,
lift your thirsty face
to those bright jewels
sewn into black velvet,
and stumble on
with wet feet.October 27, 1988 (edited June 2026)
