Indhold: Only the dreamer wakes ; To find dismooned among the stardust ; What is lost and what is gained ; Of the infinite in the finite ; To figure and transfigure ; The much that calls for more ; To brave the light of the world ; That which exhausts and exalts ; Merely the beautiful ; Divided, indivisible ; Between sinew and spirit;- Between art and life ; The banality of survival ; Shadowing the light of immortality ; To gaze and turn away ; From romance to reason ; From terror to transcendence ; Unmastering ; The heart's circumference ; Bound by neither mind nor matter ; In the darkness of being ; Searching for totality ; Into the unfathomed ; Where splendor dwells ; To live and to vanish ; Between the scale of atoms and the scale of worlds ; Between the time of monarchs and the time of stars ; Tracing the thread of being ; From shoreless seeds to stardust
