I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite.
And while I rise from my own globe to others
And penetrate ever further through the eternal field,
That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.

— Giordano Bruno On the Infinite Universe and Worlds (1584)

While I venture out beyond this tiny globe Into reaches past the bounds of starry night I leave behind what others strain to see afar.
