In this order the two strangely clad beings hurried down toward the Thames; he in the hope of finding a waterman who should carry him beyond the reach of his dreaded persecutors; she counting upon the river, which she knew to lie somewhere ahead, to check the supposed Copernicus in his obstinate flight. To the right they turned, through St.
The education that he there obtained must have been in those days of a very primitive description, but Copernicus seems to have availed himself of it to the utmost. He devoted himself more particularly to the study of medicine, with the view of adopting its practice as the profession of his life.
Previously to Copernicus, it was supposed that the planets shine by their own light, but the phases of Venus and Mars proved that their light is reflected.
It is that such a view ignores exactly this difference between the progressive and the eternal, between knowledge and imagination. If Harvey discovers that the blood is not stationary but circulates, if Copernicus discovers that the earth goes round the sun and not the sun round the earth, those discoveries can easily be communicated in the most abbreviated form.
She made straight for one of the windows the iron shutters of which were now open. "I wish't you'd call me Cousin Copernicus," Droop remarked. "Oh oh! What a beautiful world!" Phoebe leaned her face close to the glass and gazed spell-bound at the wonderful landscape spread before her.
We have ventured to point out that it does not, as yet, satisfy all those requirements; but we do not hesitate to assert that it is as superior to any preceding or contemporary hypothesis, in the extent of observational and experimental basis on which it rests, in its rigorously scientific method, and in its power of explaining biological phænomena, as was the hypothesis of Copernicus to the speculations of Ptolemy.
"What would you say, then," replied Barbicane, "if chance should bear us toward the southern hemisphere?" "Well, I should say that it was still more beautiful," retorted Michel Ardan. At this moment the projectile hung perpendicularly over the circle. The circumference of Copernicus formed almost a perfect circle, and its steep escarpments were clearly defined.
Rebecca had opened her mouth to overwhelm the poor savant with the truth when a page entered and stood before the Queen. "Well, sirrah," said Elizabeth, "what is your message?" "Sir Percevall Hart craves an audience, your Majesty, for himself and his American friend and client." "Another American!" exclaimed the Queen. "Copernicus Droop!" cried Rebecca.
The two women found themselves obliged to lean somewhat toward the central pole to counteract this tendency, and as Copernicus emerged from the engine-room he came toward the others at a decided angle to the floor. "There! now ye feel the side weight," he exclaimed. "My, ain't it funny!" exclaimed Rebecca.
It was plain to him that there was nothing whatever to warrant refusal to believe in the rotation of the earth. In his clear-sightedness on this matter we have specially to admire the sagacity of Copernicus as a natural philosopher.
