→ Yet I'll not shed her blood;
Nor soar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.

The fatal gift of beauty.

→ Except for a single, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the four million year old black monolith has remained completely inert, its origin and purpose still a total mystery.

→ A rosebud set with little wilful thorns.
And sweet as English air could make her, she.

→ They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear.

The power of beauty I remember yet.
