Longfellow in his review of the "Twice-Told Tales" of the unknown young writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne: "When a new star rises in the heavens, people gaze after it for a season with the naked eye, and with such telescopes as they may find. . . . This star is but newly risen; and erelong the observation of numerous star-gazers, perched up on arm-chairs and editor's tables, will inform the world of its magnitude and its place in the heaven of" not poetry in this instance, but that serene and unclouded region of the firmament where shine unchanging the names of Herodotus and Thucydides.
As he lay dying, he opened his eyes, and his familiar vision of Christ and the world of glory breaking upon him with unclouded luster, he exclaimed: "Glory, glory in Immanuel's land." With this outburst of joy on his lips, he joined the white-robed throng to take up the heavenly song. The same source of strength is yet available.
By this time the sun had risen above the horizon. As the sky was unclouded its rays struck with great force on their bare heads, for they had lost their hats. "We must make some covering for our heads, or we shall be suffering from sun-stroke," observed Owen. "What I dread most, however, is the want of water; we must search for it.
At last, when the night was half worn through, he awakened the girl, bade her keep sharp watch, and threw himself down to sleep, indifferent to the roars, and snarls, and dreadful cries which came from the darkness of the upper valley.

The storms come chiefly from the west and north-west, quarters to which the harbours on the coast are unfortunately open. Navigation consequently suffers interruption; but when once the winter is past, a season of tranquillity sets in, and for many months of the year at any rate from May to October the barometer scarcely varies, the sky is unclouded, and rain all but unknown.
Wherefore dost thou bid me look At you dark-bound journal book? There the register appears Of the lapse of twenty years. Thou hast been a happy bride, Kneeling by a lover's side; And unclouded was thy life, As his loved and loving wife; Thou hast worn the garb of gloom, Kneeling by that husband's tomb; Thou hast wept a widow's tears In the lapse of twenty years. Oh!
The sky that morning was clear and bright as ever; and the sun walked in unclouded brilliance and majesty through the deep blue vault of heaven.
She would resent, not only for herself, but for the poor sister who had mistakenly, and for love of her, kept silence and left the memory of Starr unclouded as the only gift she could give the woman they both had wronged!
