His mind was completely saturated with Bible imagery, yet there we were with our pockets full of forged documents walking up and down that platform star-gazing, while he talked with intelligent enthusiasm of those silver flowers in the darkened sky, of stellar space, how in its infinity it proved the presence of Deity. That with him there was no great and no little.
A very interesting man, this, if we could decipher his features and character; no mere star-gazing visionary, but a man of the world, whose scientific lore was combined with a wide and liberal experience of life.
To her students: "I cannot expect to make astronomers, but I do expect that you will invigorate your minds by the effort at healthy modes of thinking.... When we are chafed and fretted by small cares, a look at the stars will show us the littleness of our own interests. "... But star-gazing is not science. The entrance to astronomy is through mathematics.
What would crush a weaker man only serves to arm his bold spirit. He can bear all that may befall, and it would be a crime to deceive him." "To cloud his heart and mind would be a greater," retorted Verus. "Devise some means of taking him away from his star-gazing for only an hour." "I dare not, and even if I wished it, it could not be done. Do you suppose he follows me whenever I call?"
Little Bouncey's horse was still yawning and star-gazing, and Bouncey, being quite unequal to riding him and well-nigh exhausted, 'downed' him against a rubbing-post in the middle of a field, making a 'cannon' with his own and his horse's head, and was immediately the centre of attraction for the panting tail. Bouncey got near a pint of sherry from among them before he recovered from the shock.
"I was coming in from the fields across your back yard and I saw the table lighted and you on the front porch, star-gazing, and and I got Jasper to invite me." he said as he came over and drew out my chair on one side of that wide square table, while Jasper stood waiting to seat him at the other, about a mile away.
With this she went away; and in due time there circulated through the parish an assertion that it was a mistake to suppose Lady Constantine had anything to do with Swithin St. Cleeve or his star-gazing schemes. She had merely allowed him to rent the tower of her for use as his observatory, and to put some temporary fixtures on it for that purpose.
It did not seem to this philosopher well, that men who have eyes eyes that are great nature's gift to them, her gift to them in chief, eyes that were meant to see with, should go on in this groping, star-gazing, fatally-stumbling fashion any longer. You will say that they are Persian: but let them be ALTERED. Brutus. How I have thought of this, and of these times, I shall recount hereafter.
This last remark almost frightened Philip out of his hurry to get home, for he directly felt disposed to put off the evil the scolding that he expected to receive; but the knowledge that it would be making bad worse, if he loitered now, made him summon up the determination to proceed; and it required no little determination, for, since they had been star-gazing, their joints had grown stiff; aches and pains had come upon them; and they both would have given anything to have gone to sleep where they were.
Mildred now believed that she had gained the key to the old German's character, and such a hold upon his feelings that he would eventually permit her to become his companion in his star-gazing on the roof.
