The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. But not in that order.

In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time.

Into this Universe, and Why not knowing / Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing: / And out of it, as Wind along the Waste, / I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing.

Nothing is lost yet, nothing broken, and yet the cold blue word is spoken: say goodbye now to the Sun, the days of love and leaves are done.

Woman is the most superstitious animal beneath the moon. When a woman has a premonition that Tuesday will be a disaster, to which a man pays no heed, he will very likely lose his fortune then. This is not meant to be an occult or mystic remark. The female body is a vessel, and the universe drops its secrets into her far more quickly than it communicates them to the male.

I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
Where they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge, or lustre, or name.
