(Moorcock)
s***e is infinite.
It is dark.
s***e is neutral.
It is cold.
Stars occupy minute areas of s***e. They are clustered a few billion here. A few billion there. As if seeking consolation in numbers.
s***e does not care.
s***e does not threaten.
s***e does not comfort.
It does not sleep; it does not wake; it does not dream; it does not hope; it does not fear; it does not love; it does not hate; it does not encourage any of these qualities.
s***e cannot be measured. It cannot be angered, it cannot be placated. It cannot be summed up. s***e is there.
s***e is not large and it is not small. It does not live and it does not die. It does not offer truth and neither does it lie.
s***e is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact.
s***e is the absence of time and of matter
