Poul Anderson, Genesis (New York, 2001), Part One, VII.
A planet is so far from Earth that Sol is not visible in its night sky;
the day sky is green with red-tinged clouds;
the atmosphere is humanly unbreathable;
the planet's sun is small and dazzling;
low hills are covered with primitive life - purple, ruddy and gold mats, stalks, fluttering membranes and spongy turrets;
Intelligence Prime has studied this life and transmitted information to other intelligences across the known galaxy for seven hundred years;
the furthest intelligence have not yet received the transmissions.
