    ‘I’m stricken by the ricochet wonder of it all: the plain everythingness of everything, in cahoots with the everythingness of everything else.’

    Diane Ackerman’s ‘Poems for the Planets’; Carl Sagan sent this to Timothy Leary in prison.

    1976 poetry anthology The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral by Diane Ackerman — a whimsical and wonderful ode to the universe, celebrating its phenomena and featuring a poem for each planet in the Solar System, as well as one specifically dedicated to Carl Sagan.
