“Nothing is hidden, nothing obfuscated. Yet the scene is profoundly mysterious. Its immensity kindles thoughts of ultimate concern. The human gaze spans the near and the far, the familiar and the remote. We become conscious of the grandeur and misery of human perception: we, voyagers, can dream of would-be places and faraway worlds; we intuit the infinite; yet all this infinity hightlights is, in the end, the limit of human knowledge: in the end we see only as far as we can see. And the more we know how limitedly we see, the more our imagination ventures beyond the blurry boundary, and the more we realise how bound in a nutshell we are. ”
