Figure E11 TESTUDO

Move we again to far futurity

(Potential, as all such visions are):

Deep below the crust, a sunless sea

Is hidden from the wrath of mother star

As bloated, red, she turns the land to char.

Dark in light only: see, in INFRA-RED,

Deep vents glow bright, the surface black as tar.

Vast Leviathans swim here, filter-fed,

So life within continues though the shell be dead.
