Why should I feel lonely? Is not our planet in the Milky Way?
~ Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Milky Way
The vault is sown thick with them, the vault is alive with them, trembles with them, quivers with them! And through their midst rises a broad belt of their like, uncountable for numberrises and flows up into the sky, from the one horizon, and pours across and goes flooding down to the othera stupendous arch, made all of glittering vast suns diminished to twinkling points by the awful distanceand where is that colossal planet of mine? It's in that Beltsomewhere, God knows where!
~ Mark Twain (1835-1910) From Three Thousand Years among the Microbes
