Philip caused it to be shot back again with the inscription, “If Philip takes the city, he will hang Aster.” And so he did. Indeed he took the loss of his eye so much to heart, that he was angry if anyone mentioned a Cyclops in his presence.
Mushroom-shaped fungus coral, some slate-colored sea anemone including the species Thalassianthus aster among others, organ-pipe coral arranged like flutes and just begging for a puff from the god Pan, shells unique to this sea that dwell in madreporic cavities and whose bases are twisted into squat spirals, and finally a thousand samples of a polypary I hadn't observed until then: the common sponge.
Addison, who was probably unacquainted with the flower described by Virgil, represents the Italian aster as a purple bush, with yellow flowers, instead of telling us that the flower had a yellow disk and purple rays.
Of course the black golden-rod beetle may try to dwell among the aster flowers, and the aphis that are nursery maids to the ants infest their roots; you must pick off the one and dig sulphur and unslaked lime deeply into the soil to discourage the other, but whatever labour you spend will not be lost.
The books were little short of a blessing to Roland; and when nothing else was to be done in winter, he sat in his sleeping-room which was the one best ventilated among the lot and read by the light of a candle.

Dutchman's Breeches "That case of Holland gin and Old Tailor has arrived. Come on over." Iris "Could you learn to love an optician?" Aster "Who was that stout Jewish-looking party I saw you with in the hotel lobby Friday?" Deadly Nightshade "Pull down those blinds, quick!" Passion Flower "Phone Main 1249 ask for Eddie." Raspberry "I am announcing my engagement to Charlie O'Keefe Tuesday."
Joel explained that he had been only trying to identify the aster, a spray of which he had broken off and still held in his hand. "Perhaps I can tell you what it is," answered Remsen as he took it. "Yes, it's the Purple-Stemmed, Aster puniceus. Isn't it common where you live?" "I've never noticed it," answered Joel.
The squirrel has lost his playful air, and has an anxious manner, as though there were no time to waste before stocking his granary. Everywhere berries have taken the place of buds, and bearded grasses the place of flowers. Even the goldenrod has fallen to rust, and the stars of the aster are already tarnished.
