==Back to the Beginning : Some Exemplary Universes==

<p>I would have preferred to be enveloped in words,<br>

===A One-Dimensional Universe===
<blockquote>
<p>There was never any more inception than there is now,<br>
Nor any more youth or age than there is now;<br>
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,<br>
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.</p>

<p>The clock indicates the moment . . . . but what does<br>
eternity indicate?</p>

<p>Urge and urge and urge,<br>
Always the procreant urge of the world.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful<br>
green stuff woven.</p>

===Tacit Extensions===

<p>I would really like to have slipped imperceptibly into this lecture, as into all the others I shall be delivering, perhaps over the years ahead.</p>

===Example 2. Drives and Their Vicissitudes===
<blockquote>
<p>I open my scuttle at night and see the far-sprinkled systems,<br>
And all I see, multiplied as high as I can cipher, edge but<br>
the rim of the farther systems.</p>
<p>Walt Whitman, ''Leaves of Grass'', [Whi, 81]</p>
