Gift
from Kerson Huang (kerson@mit.edu)
to Phil, presented in 1972 and accompanied by a Chinese couplet:
"Imponderable dust - churning into galaxies; Countless novae
- not in the Milky Way."
The
character on the seal is “mo” in old-style Chinese. The modern style
character is the single character below the seal. It literally means
'ink', and is also the name of the philosopher Mozi, who lived ca.
400 BC. |
