This Hubble image captures a portion of a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. Dark nebulae ― also called absorption nebulae ― are clouds of gas and dust that neither emit nor reflect light, instead blocking light coming from behind them. These nebulae tend to contain large amounts of dust, which allows them to absorb visible light from stars or nebulae beyond them.

Weeping Willows by Monet

As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.

Isaac Bashevis Singer, Enemies: A Love Story

Tout reposait dans Ur et dans Jérimadeth ;

Les astres émaillaient le ciel profond et sombre ;

Le croissant fin et clair parmi ces fleurs de l'ombre

Brillait à l'occident, et Ruth se demandait,

Immobile, ouvrant l'oeil à moitié sous ses voiles,

Quel dieu, quel moissonneur de l'éternel été,

Avait, en s'en allant, négligemment jeté

Cette faucille d'or dans le champ des étoiles.

Booz endormi, Victor Hugo
