No new pictures, where are you mentally?
Trying to stay positive, so I go stargazing with Calvin and Hobbes. "Pointed our thoughts the way we pointed it, And standing at our leisure till the day broke, Said some of the best things we ever said. That telescope was christened the Star-Splitter, Because it didn't do a thing but split A star in two or three the way you split A globule of quicksilver in your hand With one stroke of your finger in the middle. It's a star-splitter if there ever was one, And ought to do some good if splitting stars 'Sa thing to be compared with splitting wood." - Robert Frost (The Star-splitter)

Definitely the most memorable verses; I always associate them with the first photo of a black hole, peering at infinity through a grain of sand.
April 10, 2019 This is the first picture of a black hole. Using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists obtained an image of the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. (There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy — the Milky Way.)

If you see this, post a poet.

Seamus Heaney
White clouds with green trees below with text from Seamus Heaney's poem "The Cure at Troy." History says, Don’t hope On this side of the grave, But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme — Seamus Heaney

I taste a liquor never brewed-- Tankards scooped in Pearl-- Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an Alcohol! Inebriate of Air--am I-- And Debauchee of Dew-- Reeling--thro endless summer days-- From inns of Molten Blue-- When the "Landlords" turn the drunken Bee Out of the Foxglove's door-- When Butterflies--renounce their drams-- I shall but drink the more! Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats-- And Saints--to windows run-- To see the little Tippler-- Leaning against the--Sun! — Emily Dickinson TX
