Footnote: Theological Astronomy, 2

A star for each one
ever born, they tell me: what
if obdurate souls
find, in their stars' raging cores,
the eternal fire of hell?

Kyakuchuu

[jlc]

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This concept of a one to one correspondence in the number of stars and the number of souls who have lived, are living, or will live upon the earth, was first, to my knowledge, set forward in Arthur C. Clarke's novelization of "2001: A Space Odyssey."
