Nemo me impune lacessit

"... there can be no end to anything
without something beyond to mark that end
and show where nature and sense can go no further.
... if we should theorize that the whole
of space were limited, then if a man ran out
to the last limits and hurled a spear,
would you prefer that, whirled by might and muscle,
the spear flew on and on, as it was thrown,
or do you think something would stop and block it?"
