Large quote

The blue sky above us is the optical layer of the atmosphere, the great lens of the terrestrial globe, its brilliant retina.

From ultra-marine, beyond the sea, to ultra-sky, the horizon divides opacity from transparency. It is just one small step from earth-matter to space-light - a leap or take-off able to free us for a moment from gravity.
