XIV. Le ruban magnetique de machine à écrire
The orbital siphon was an extension of the space-elevator concept that derived
from the elevator’s peculiar mechanics. Beyond the point of
geosynchronous
orbit, centripetal forces tended to throw masses away from the Earth. The trick
with the siphon was to harness this tendency, to allow payloads to escape but
in the process to draw more masses up from the Earth’s surface.
–Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter’s
Firstborn

The pastoral landscape par excellence. According to one school, it's where the
pastoral genre that you speak of begins, those irrepressible yearnings by
people beyond simplicity to be taken off to the perfectly safe, charmingly
simple and satisfying environment that is desire's homeland. How moving and
pathetic these pastorals that cannot admit contradiction or conflict! —Philip
