Titles are fragments plucked from Johannes Kepler’s The Harmonies of the World
"the sun-spots and little flames are brought forward as evidence"
"furnished with more than human gifts"
"the role of the river-bed in which this river of light runs"
"and that again is the soul of the song"
"the sun sticks to the centre of the world"
"light in itself is something akin to the soul"
"flame and drops of water at war with one another"
"the bodies, the motors, which are divine minds"
"like onion skins"
"these arguments drawn from the dignity of the sun"
"as a trunk from the soul of the shoot"
"the liquid plains of the ether"
"like the yolk within the white of the egg"
"the cosmos cannot be better than it is"
"the difference is that god holds up the drop"
