of our city, to gently stroke the surface of the stars.”

Ophelia.
Doubt thou the stars are fire.
Doubt that the sun doth move.

I have not art to reckon my groans.
But that I love thee best,
O most best, believe it. Adieu.
Thine evermore, most dear lady, whilst this machine is to him, Hamlet.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
