That Was A Curious Dream; I Thought The Three Great Planets That Are Drawing Near The Sun With Such Unerring Certainty, Begun To Talk Together In A Mighty Glee. They Spoke Of Vast Convulsions Which Would Be Throughout The Solar System - The Rare Fun Of Watching Haughty Stars Drop, One By One, And Vanish In A Seething Vapor Sea. I Thought I Heard Them Comment On The Earth - That Small Dark Object - Doomed Beyond A Doubt. They Wondered If Live Creatures Moved About Its Tiny Surface, Deeming It Of Worth. And Then They Laughed - 'Twas Such A Ringing Shout That I Awoke And Joined Too In Their Mirth.
