Back when TM was released as an MP3 on Sarah's site, I tried my best to figure out what was said. I flubbed it of course 8-} But Steve I corrected me: "I think that it is actually a quote from Blaise Pascal's Pensies, written two years before his death (starting at the line after the bracketed line: [It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. ] I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; by thought I comprehend the world."--Blaise Pascal, Pensies." - -Brian (PS: did Sarah actually *say* she got the quote from Carl Sagan? Hmm.)

And I believe that she's reading > Carl Sagan. (??) Yep, that's what she said when I saw her perform it. Someone asked her what that was and she said it was a Carl Sagan quote. I realize that she may be mistaken, but I definitely remember her saying it was him. ~Amy www.collectedsounds.com A Guide to Women in Music ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 03:48:08 +0200 From: "Yaron" Subject: Re: This business of bleeding Navy soup archive says: >Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 18:17:50 -0500 >From: Steve I >Subject: Re: Twin Moon - Lyrics and a bad attempt at analysis [Long] >I think that it is actually a quote from Blaise Pascal's Pens?es, written >two years before his death (starting at the line after the bracketed line: > [It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from > > the government of my thought. ] > I shall have no more if I possess worlds.
