    Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade
    Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;
    Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,
    And make use of your wings while you may.
    . . . .
    But tho' dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite,
    They at last found it dangerous play;
    Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,
    Only dazzle to lead us astray.

Physicists and astronomers see their own implications in the world being round, but to me it means that only one-third of the world is asleep at any given time and the other two-thirds is up to something.
