Deus est machina
Какой роскошный музей-реликварий науки... старинные телескопы и подзорные трубы - дела рук человеческих - и свидетельство превосходства инженерного гения Творца - истлевший палец Галилея в яйце средневекового стекла, установленного на алебастровом постаменте.

Leipsiana ne spernas digiti, quo dextera coeli

Mensa vias, numquam visos mortalibus orbes

Mostravit, parvo fragilis molimine vitri

Ausa prior facinus, cui non Titania quondam

Sufficit pubes congestis montibus altis

Nequidquam superas sonata ascendere in arces

Tommaso Perelli (1704-1783)
 This is the finger, belonging to the illustrious hand

that ran through the skies,

pointing at the immense spaces, and singling out new stars,

offering to the senses a marvelous apparatus

of crafted glass,

and with wise daring they could

reach where neither Enceladus nor Tiphaeus ever reached
