The Unrequited Love of Cassini

For thirteen long years he patiently wooed, 
                                 A giant wedding ring his orbit traced,   
                              For scornful Saturn’s hand he vainly flew, 
                             Despairing, into a death plunge he blazed,  
                            Near to his true flame, at long last, he drew.

                             
                            - In remembrance of the Cassini spacecraft -
