from what we cannot hold
the stars are made*
portents one should heed
from what we cannot hold
or never had,
raised stones amid
from what we cannot hold
the stars are made
"This world does not have a 'dark companion' because this world is a 'dark companion.' You are standing on an anti-earth and denying that there is an anti earth. That is folly for you.
Your world does have a 'bright primary,' and you people on this world are so dim-eyed that you will not allow yourselves either to see or to believe in that bright, primary planet.
Yes, the planet under our feet here is a 'dark companion.' It is the donkey-counterpart world of a horse world, it is the goat world to a sheep world, it is a left-handed world to a right-handed world. Oh, it is!" --Aurelia
