my name is tycho brahe.
i believe in the geocentricism of the universe.

Being in control of his own wealth and having inherited a large fortune, he spent liberally for research. Moreover, he conquered all feelings of fatigue and tirelessly pursued objectives generally regarded as unattainable. This is shown by his highly precise method of observation, in which he fought against the very nature of human vision and emerged victorious.
Johannes Kepler on Tycho Brahe, Notes on the Somnium
June 14, 2009
Johannes Kepler called Tycho “the prince of mathematicians not only of our time, but of all times.”

i used to think that
you had the answers
now i can’t hear them
i can’t hear them
i used to think that
you were the master
but now i’m pleading
i’m down and bleeding
Free, Tycho Brahe

Taken all in all, neither to your children, nor to your wife, nor to yourself did you devote yourself more than to me.
Johannes Kepler, in an apology to Tycho Brahe
May 3, 2009
i sit alone and watch the skies
hope that you come out tonight
and broken hearts, broken dreams
buried somewhere in between
and though you think that i don’t mind
you messing with this heart of mine
remember remember remember
that you were mine
Armistice, Tycho Brahe
Kepler to Maestlin, 1599

Brahe may discourage me from Copernicus (or even from the five perfect solids) but rather I think about striking Tycho himself with a sword. I think thus about Tycho: he abounds in riches, which like most rich people he does not rightly use. Therefore great effort has to be given that we may wrest his riches away from him. We will have to go begging, of course, so that he may sincerely spread his observations around.

Let all keep silence and hark to Tycho who has devoted thirty-five years to his observations. For Tycho alone do I wait; he shall explain to me the order and arrangement of the orbits.

His assistant, Johannes Kepler, praised him as a “phoenix” of astronomy. Brahe simply compared himself to the “Messiah.
