We had been in the place two days when a brig-of-war entered the harbour, which, on her making her number, I found with great satisfaction to be the Star. Captain Armstrong was known to my grandfather, so he accompanied me at once on board.
We have seen His star in the East and have come to worship him." What is meant by the words, "We have seen his star in the East"?
Great waves of indefinable melody, more subtle and exquisite than music, swept over them, causing their souls to quicken and tingle in the freshening dawn as the Day Star rose to hold again his sway over earth.
In spite of the poignant nature of the talk, Hylda could not but smile at the last words. "Don't despair," she rejoined; "one star differeth from another star in glory, but that is no reason why they should not be on visiting terms." "My dear, you may laugh you may laugh, but I am sixty-five, and I am not laughing at the idea of what company I may be obliged to keep presently.
To his fancy, as to Shelley's, New England is the star of the future. Attracted by a strength or rather force of character akin to his own, he worshipped Napoleon, even when driven to confess that "the hero had sunk into a king." He lamented his overthrow; but, above all, that he was beaten by "three stupid, legitimate old dynasty boobies of regular sovereigns."

A star in the floor shows the place where the manger wuz where the Holy Child wuz born, a silver star glitters above it and around the star sixteen lights are burning night and day. All about here the caves in the rocks are used as stables, specially when the tarvens are full, as the Bible expressly states they wuz the night our Lord wuz born.
She said that she saw a bright star, though it only seemed a point of light now as before. 'That's because it is so distant that no magnifying will bring its size up to zero. Though called a fixed star, it is, like all fixed stars, moving with inconceivable velocity; but no magnifying will show that velocity as anything but rest. And thus they talked on about Sirius, and then about other stars
"But you're going to follow him always, aren't you, and help to see him through? He's following something too." "What's that?" said Belding a little stiffly. "His star." The girl's voice was very soft. "Perhaps he'll never reach it, but that doesn't matter, if he follows it." "Mr. Clark would differ with you there." "Would he, I don't know. Perhaps I understand him better than you do."
