DANTE AND THE Eaely Astronomers BY M. A. ORR (Mrs. John Evershed). Plainness and clearness without shadow of stain, Clearness divine ! Ye heavens, whose pure dark regions have no sign Of languor, though so calm, and though so great Are yet untroubled and unpassionate ; Who, though so noble, share in the worlds toil, And though so tasked keep free from dust and soil! You remainA world above mans head, to let him seeHow boundless might his souls horizons vast, yet of what clear transparency. Matthew Arnold. Monbon Gall and Inglis, 31 Henrietta St., And Edinhuj^gh.
