“I walk with Death in final exhalation,

And come apart with violent separation.

A thousand floors, ascend into the Ether…

A lunatic, enchanted by the Reaper.

And down below I leave a stranger lying lifeless

As the light begins to shatter the skies…

And I ascend and leave behind the “used to be”,

And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes…

And see…

I see…

I see…

Nobody”

For the historically inclined, this is the best write up of the Galileo incident I've found. It's several posts long, but well worth it, as his sense of humor is featured alongside his knowledge.
