Inner Planetary Travels with Telestos in Paradiso

Inner Planetary Travels with Telestos and William Morris

Inner Planetary Travels. A colony of Hydroids swirls in the currents. Tentacles outstretched for passing creatures to feed upon.They are small sessile animals (about 1mm dia.) of the class Hydrozoa, related to jellyfish. Like them, the tentacles bear stinging cells to neutralise prey. Everything works better out here when hydrated, not oiled.  

Inner Planetary Travels. The song of Worms. Life is better out here when it's hydrated and not oiled

Sang old Tom the lunatic
That sleeps under the canopy:
'What change has put my thoughts astray
And eyes that had so keen a sight?
What has turned to smoking wick
Nature's pure unchanging light?
William Butler Yeats
