“We make still by the law in which we’re made.”

From a poem named Mythopoeia, J. R. R. Tolkien, 1931.

The Pillars of Creation are vast columns of gas and dust within the Eagle Nebula, located about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens, where new stars are born as gravity collapses dense regions while radiation from nearby stars slowly erodes them away.
