THE LEARNED HEVELIUS WHEN HE MAPPED THE MOON FOUND WATERS THERE AS KEPLER AND PYTHAGORAS HAD DONE 15653 Whether the full moon floats out of a culvert, out of a silo, up from the kudzu ex EN, d. SAA Psd over the red clay cliffs, or drifts against the drifted Milky Way, wherever the moon is in the mind’s eye comes a calm, for the sun explodes and all day in the brain which it has forced, for which its warmth is indispensable, explodes, whereas the moon is luculent with uselessness, and true, its Beauty is beside the point, and as for the unearthly Seat of Love, as for the Seat of Wisdom and Tomfool ... and as regards the chart of the lunar floods: the Seas of Ingenuity and Nectar both are small, the Sea of Cold is the longest, south of that the tiny Lake of Death spills into the Lake of Dreams.
