The riddle of the universe

Every human life
involves an unfathomable mystery,
for man is the riddle of the universe,
and the riddle of man
is his endowment with personal capacities.
The stars are not so strange
as the mind that studies them,
analyzes their light, and measures their distances.

Harry Emerson Fosdick, On Being a Real Person
