Recreations In Astronomy With Directions For Practical Experiments And Telescopic Work
Von: Henry Warren
During All The Ages There Has Been One Bright And Glittering Page
Of Loftiest Wisdom Unrolled Before The Eye Of Man. That This Page
May Be Read In Every Part, Man's Whole World Turns Him Before It.
This Motion Apparently Changes The Eternally Stable Stars Into A
Moving Panorama, But It Is Only So In Appearance. The Sky Is A
Vast, Immovable Dial-Plate Of "That Clock Whose Pendulum Ticks
Ages Instead Of Seconds," And Whose Time Is Eternity. The Moon
Moves Among The Illuminated Figures, Traversing The Dial Quickly,
Like A Second-Hand, Once A Month.
