Climb the fir-dark hill on the Welland estate and you find a stone column with a telescope at its top, and inside it a boy of twenty who has given himself entirely to the sky. What he tells the lady who owns the land is not romance but terror.

That size faintly approaches the size of the stellar universe.
Two on a Tower, Thomas Hardy
