I admit that I did not know what to say to that. I shook the last of the coffee out of my cup, cleared my throat, studied the hurtling moons and still-visible Milky Way for a moment, and said, âSo? Do you think he was onto something?â As soon as I said it, I wanted to kick myself. This was a child I was talking to. She might sprout old poetry, or old pornography for that matter, but there was no way she could understand it.
Aenea looked at me. The moonlight made her large eyes luminous. âI think there are more levels on heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in my fatherâs philosophy.â
âI see,â I said, thinking, Who the hell is Horatio?
âMy father was very young when he wrote that,â said Aenea. âIt was his first poem and it was a flop. What he wantedâwhat he wanted his shepherd hero to learnâwas how exalted these things could beâpoetry, nature, wisdom, the voices of friends, brave deeds, the glory of strange places, the charm of the opposite sex. But he stopped before he got to the real essence.â
âWhat real essence?â I asked. Our raft rose and fell on the seaâs breathing.
âThe meanings of all motions, shapes, and sounds,â whispered the girl. â⦠all forms and substances/Straight homeward to their symbol-essences â¦â
Why were those words so familiar? It took me a while to remember.
Our raft sailed on through the night and sea of Mare Infinitus.
