Friedrich Schiller

10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805 / Marbach, Württemberg

To Astronomers

Prate not to me so much of suns and of nebulous bodies;
Think ye Nature but great, in that she gives thee to count?
Though your object may be the sublimest that space holds within it,
Yet, my good friends, the sublime dwells not in the regions of space.
