The beauty of it all filled the eyes and the heart of Captain January, as he came up among the rocks. He paused, and stood for some time in silence, watching the little well-beloved figure. "Wal!" he said, "if that ain't one of the young-eyed cherubims, then I never seed one, that's all." At this moment Star caught sight of him. "O Daddy," she cried. "My Daddy Captain, I'm having such a fine ride!
"Then the Sagalie Tyee smiled on His Indian children: 'I will make these young-eyed maidens immortal, He said. In the cup of His hands He lifted the Chief's two daughters and set them forever in a high place, for they had borne two offspring Peace and Brotherhood each of which is now a great Tyee ruling this land.
No astronomer can ever tell which if any one among these four may be to the others as a sun; for in this special tract of heaven "one star differeth" not "from another star in glory." Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins.
I know all about him, thank you. And it was that beautiful boy, Olaf, that young-eyed cherub, who developed into a musty old man who wrote musty old books, and lived a musty, dusty life all by himself, and never married or had any fun at all! How horrid, Olaf!" she cried, with a queer shrug of distaste.
And greet with smiles the young-eyed POSEY All deftly masked, as hoar ANTIQUITY. Alas, vain phantasies! the fleeting brood Of woe self-solaced in her dreamy mood!

It is this doctrine which Shakespeare alludes to when he makes Lorenzo teach astronomy to Jessica in this fashion: "Sit, Jessica, look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold! There's not the smallest orb that thou behold'st But in this motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubim; Such harmony is in immortal souls!
Prout's imagination leaned to the darker side of life, and he looked on those young-eyed cherubims most sourly. Boys that he understood attended house-matches and could be accounted for at any moment.
"True," responded Miss Carmichael, "and now I begin to feel like a disembodied spirit a 'young-eyed cherubim. I seem to belong already to a better planet. Should you not like to dwell here for ever, far away from the carking cares and troubles of the world?" The unwonted sadness of her tone reminded me of her devoted life, and I turned towards her with new interest and sympathy.
To sit in the stalls and watch the incredible jumble-show, the reason-defying topsy-turvydom of it, the gorgeous, squalid, tearful, and mirthful pageantry, the reckless inconsequences, the flagrant impossibilities; to watch the Devil ramping up and down like a hungry lion, and to hear the young-eyed cherubim choiring from the skies: what better entertainment could the heart of man desire?"
