Pegasus: Ptolemy's Discovery
Awesome Pegasus appears in the Northern Hemisphere
as a beautiful winged horse that Greek gods adored;
what Ptolemy saw was something he wanted to share.
When he discovered it, he gladly gave it a horse's name:
nothing else came to his mythical mind other than that;
imagine him staring at it and drawing its stirring image!
Stand beneath it on the longest night of summer,
its tiny stars dazzle more than white diamonds;
it's the perfect night for lovers to breathe warm air!
I happen to spot Pegasus while searching for answers,
how this breathtaking universe came to be from nothing;
it hypnotized me with its twinkles if they were dancers!
