I am reminded of the rules or lack thereof of quantum mechanics vs the predictability of general theory.

Vacuity is an amazing little word when one considers that nature abhors a vacuum and outer space is a virtual vacuum. The concept is complicated enough to maintain a boiling thought in one's mental thermos for quite some time. The quoted lines are ones I very much admire, and I am pleased to run into them again after a long absence.
Cheers,

Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."
An angst that has
never ceased to haunt us ???
A poetry that has its life in its resonances, most certainly. A poetry that compels reflection.
