In a deep hamlet
in the mountains of Switzerland,
enclosed on all sides by
the jagged rocks of infinity
lived the first woman.
When she looked up
into the stars, and saw
the ethereal sphere gallop
overhead, she remarked
how mysterious and
beautiful was her home.
The Universe, she mused,
was a large canyon
many miles across,
and up above it raced
a loop of stars and suns
to keep her pace.
She sighed and smiled
and continued to work,
knowing that when she
was finished she too
would be among the stars
to gaze down approvingly
at the home she had created.
