Download or read book Splendors of the Sky Classic Reprint written by Isabel Martin Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Splendors of the Sky The following book has been compiled from a series of articles written by the author during the past three years for The New York Evening Sun upon astronomical subjects of general, popular interests. Requests from a number of readers for copies of these articles have led to the publication of a selection and arrangement of them, including some revisions and changes, which form a connected and comprehensive treatment of the astronomy of the present day. Diagrams, formulae and mathematical proofs have been entirely omitted as unsuitable to a popular treatment of the subject. It is not the desire of the author to attempt to enter into a detailed scientific exposition of astronomical truths but simply to tell in non-technical terms something about the wonderful progress the astronomers are now making in delving into the mysteries of time and space and in solving problems concerning the heavenly bodies that a few years ago appeared to be beyond solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Where Does the Sky Begin Where is the way to the dwelling of light, And as for darkness, where is the place thereof; That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof? Job xxxviii. 19, 20. These are part of the words by which, in the great dramatic poem of the Old Testament, Jehovah answers Job, out of the whirlwind and the thundercloud. The whole mighty message is a reproof of the temerity of man in judging God. The vastness of man's ignorance, the multitude of the things happening all about him which he can neither control nor explain, - these are set before him in a series of splendid pictures, that humility and docility may be suggested to him. Among these challenges and questionings his thought is turned more than once to the upper realms, to the wonder and mystery of the sky: - "Which is the way to the place where the light is?

The moon was shining from a sky dotted with stars and the moon-beams streamed into the snow covered garden of the old Hamilton place, making a Wierd, mysterious picture of lights and shadows as it fell on tree and bough; even beautifying the bare branches of the trees with its silvery splendor. Anne Hamilton stood at the window of her room, gazing into the night, watching for Hugh Crawford. She and her aunt owned the beautiful old house they lived in, but it was Miss Hamilton alone who managed everything; from the edu cation of Anne, whom she loved with protective tenderness, to the smallest particular of comfort and elegance of their daily life.
