The Stars, the Galaxy, the Universe...

...have inspired humans since the dawn of our existence. And while philosophers and scientists pondered the laws governing the Universe, the poets immortalized their fascination with it in art.
In searching for an appropriate poem with which to embellish my thesis (on the formation of the Milky Way), I came upon several sites dedicated to astronomy in poetry. If French comes naturally to you, I highly recommend L'astronomie et la poesie, a wonderful site with poetry in both French and English.
