Into The Void

       My reading today led me to the following quote which seems much appropriate for the cosmos. It gives the name Pope which I believe is Sir Thomas Pope the founder of Trinity College, Oxford.

       This quote is taken from my reading source "American Dictionary Of The English Language" by Noah Webster, 1828. It was under the word for "VOID" which was my exploration of the day. Getting past "The New STRONG'S Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible" [Largest Print Strong's for me] which on p.1489 states ... "the earth was without form and v .....Gen 1:2    922". 

       The 922 gives the reference number for the Hebrew word for void found on p. 17 [of the Hebrew section] given as  bo' -hoo "from an unused root (mean, to be empty)". Now, old Noah would add "not occupied with any visible matter". Well, there you have about got it. Then my quote of old Pope.

            "Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defense, and fills all the mighty void of sense".

                                                                                                                                Pope

        Into my void indeed it is.
