Planetarium

Adrienne Rich died this week. Here is her poem Planetarium about Caroline Herschel, the 18th century astronomer.

every impulse of light exploding

from the core
as life flies out of us
Tycho whispering at last
‘Let me not seem to have lived in vain’
What we see, we see
and seeing is changing
