most wonderful. Yes, and when a million, billion, 

 trillion universes shall have come and gone, there 

 will not in the end have been evolved a grander 

 goal; the last world will contain no greater marvel 

 than was the first living cell . . . 



So my shooting-star seems to become more than 

 symbolic of origins. It connotes a concept in which 

 the forming of a system of suns is of an inferior 

 order to the production of that vital spark within 

 the egg of our serpent-star.
