Quotes about Immensity

I love the night passionately. I love it
as I love my country, or my mistress,
with an instinctive, deep, and
unshakeable love. I love it with all my
senses: I love to see it, I love to
breathe it in, I love to open my ears to
its silence, I love my whole body to be
caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing
in the sunshine, the blue sky, the
warm air, in the fresh morning light.
The owl flies by night, a dark shadow
passing through the darkness; he
hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as
though he delights in the intoxicating
black immensity of space.
