    • 1998, Nigel Kerner, Song of the Greys:
      The metaphysical - the ephemeral non-matterness - as All- Knowing, as Ultimate Order in Ultimate Togetherness - takes itself out into greater and greater expressions of separation and tightness, or forceness, to settle as uranium at the farthest end (and who knows what else as the Universe expands) with hydrogen at the end nearest to Godhead.
