...for A Long Time I

I Am A Lutheran Astrologer, I Throw Away The Nonsense And Keep The Hard Kernel.

If There Is Anything That Can Bind The Heavenly Mind Of Man To This Dreary Exile Of Our Earthly Home And Can Reconcile Us With Our Fate So That One Can Enjoy Living,-then It Is Verily The Enjoyment Of The Mathematical Sciences And Astronomy.

As Soon As Somebody Demonstrates The Art Of Flying, Settlers From Our Species Of Man Will Not Be Lacking On The Moon And Jupiter. Who Would Have Believed That A Huge Ocean Could Be Crossed More Peacefully And Safely Than The The Narrow Expanse Of The Adriatic, The Baltic Sea Or The English Channel? Given Ships Or Sails Adapted To The Breezes Of Heaven, There Will Be Those Who Will Not Shrink From Even That Vast Expanse.

The Sphere Of The Attractive Virtue Which Is In The Moon Extends As Far As The Earth, And Entices Up The Waters; But As The Moon Flies Rapidly Across The Zenith, And The Waters Cannot Follow So Quickly, A Flow Of The Ocean Is Occasioned In The Torrid Zone Towards The Westward.

The Heavenly Motions... Are Nothing But A Continuous Song For Several Voices, Perceived Not By The Ear But By The Intellect, A Figured Music Which Sets Landmarks In The Immeasurable Flow Of Time.
