The Immense Journey

by Loren Eisley

Down how many roads among the stars

Must man propel himself in search of the final
Secret? The journey is difficult, immense,
At times impossible, yet that will not
Deter some of us from attempting it...

We have joined the caravan, you might say,
At certain point, we will travel as far
As we can, but we cannot in one lifetime
See all that we should like to see or to
Learn all that we hunger to know
