31 SUPER-TELESCOPES Wren the giant telescope Turns its eye upon the sky, Striving through the dark to grope South of Huckelbari Pi, When the Prof. is clear away In a nebula unknown, Then a tender voice will say, “Dear, you're wanted on the phone." When he wanders two or three Ilion light-years from his home, like a spirit free Round the wide celestial dome, When he leaves dull Earth behind For the flashy Pleiad bunch, Still that gentle voice and kind: “Huxley, here's your midnight lunch."* Build a lens however great, Cast a glass however true, Send the mind of man clate All the universes through, Pressing on the outbound tack Time's vast mystery to spell, a voice will call him back— And it may be just as well. —L.
