The young come to join us
As if from the core of the void.
Is that where we're headed then,
The universe empty and full
Of everything at once?
We hope they are even more stunned
By this world than we are,
Yet it seems we know so much more,
Just not for sure.
Illusions are costly only when lost.
–Under the sway of Wislawa Szymborska, 1923-2012.
