Picking up STAR MAKER by Olaf Stapledon where I left off (a year ago? two?) Plotless universal history, ebb and flow of utopias and dystopias, fantastical evolutionary strains— some manner of animistic consciousness— guessing it influenced the Genesis game I was obsessed w/in high school— STARFLIGHT

Paperback book: STAR MAKER by Olaf Stapledon (1937). Cover by David Pelham.

Heav’n from all creatures hides the book of fate, All but the page prescrib’d their present state; From brutes what men, from men what spirits know, Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleas’d to the last, he crops the flow’ry food, And licks the hand just rais’d to shed his blood. Oh blindness to the future! kindly giv’n, That each may fill the circle mark’d by Heav’n; Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl’d, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.

—Alexander Pope
