love in the time of cthulhu


    "ON THE FRONTIER

A Tartar horn tugs at the north wind,
Thistle Gate shines whiter than the stream.
The sky swallows the road to Kokonor.
On the Great Wall, a thousand miles of moonlight.

The dew comes down, the banners drizzle,
Cold bronze rings the watches of the night.
The nomads' armour meshes serpents' scales.
Horses neigh, Evergreen Mound's champed white.

In the still of autumn see the Pleiades.
Far out on the sands, danger in the furze.
North of their tents is surely the sky's end
Where the sound of the river streams beyond the border."

--Li He via Language Hat

Terrestrial planet discovered around Ross 128 (despite the hurricane!). At Centauri Dreams. Drew ex Machina. And in fiction. But not without a name... At first i was going to call it Omoultakos, now i am leaning toward Josaphat.
