"Where lies the ultima Thule?"
he inquired about the edge of discovery.
"It's down in cave, beyond the cold,
in a pocket that's hot and noxious."
"I'm sure it lies in the Challenger Deep,
far down below the waves."
"It must be out amid the void of space,
where frozen silence reigns."
"If it lies not in the recesses of my mind,
I'm sure I'll never see it."
