If to-day certain precious bits of glass, ruby-red, emerald-green, sapphire-blue, topaz-yellow, set in the windows of old cathedrals, could speak, they would say proudly that they are the work of Alan of York and Josian, the daughter of Archiater, the philosopher.
Out of a cloudless sky, translucent sapphire at its zenith fading into hazy topaz-yellow at the horizon, golden sunlight slanted, casting shadows heavy and colourful; on the edge of the woodlands they clung like thin purple smoke, but motionless, and against them, here and there, a clump of sumach blazed like a bed of embers, or some tree loath to shed its autumnal livery flamed scarlet, russet, and mauve.
Our sun is a solitary star, with no companion, and therefore such a state of things seems to us to be incredible. Fancy two gigantic suns, one topaz-yellow and the other azure-blue, circling around in endless movement! Where in such a system would there be room for the planets? How could planets exist under the pull of two suns in opposite directions?
