William Hughes Mearns (1875-1965)

Well this week another mystery is solved in the Zig house with extra help from our friend Suze. A couple of posts down I tossed out a poem that has been stuck in my head for decades, but no idea were it came from. It seems more popular than I had realized. It's been used with some variations in sci/fi magazines, intros to movies, even quoted on star trek. With a pretty solid lead from Suze and google at hand I was able to find a fair amount of sites that also have that poem stuck in minds of thier authors. :) Wikipedia had the best information I've found so far, you can find the link here.
