Surrounded by a void,
as a constellation is by space,
with infinite distance between its luminous points,
its timeless manifestation of itself.
So in complete calm,
in dead perfection,
lives the Truth about the great Nothing.
The soul of the void.
Like a constellation
named after an utterly forgotten divinity.
Pär Lagerkvist
(trans W.H. Auden)
