At the heart of it all 
The basic question throbs and has always throbbed
Within the minds carried about by the bodies
Of the sane and the insane
The vastly great and the vastly small

     When we built our first fires and told our first tales
     Beneath the careless stars
     Shining down from the terrible infinite blackness -

               What Is It?
