It is the glory of God to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
---Proverbs 25:2
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father.
---Revelation 1:6
The stars exist according to unchanging laws,
mathematical and elegant; and from this cause
all have ignited and evolved; some have expired.
But only feeling sentience, in our brief span, calls
them into constellations---there to be admired.
Given the limitations that confine real flaws
among us, nights' processions are the more desired.
Stars' measurements, refined, expand astonomy;
in measured verse, the stars ascend our poetry.
