From this point I could learn something of the mighty workings of the Universe.

I gazed upon countless solar systems, that like wheels within wheels revolved with such rapidity that they seemed all one wheel.

I saw planets whirl around and around with breathless swiftness, like glittering balls flung through the air--burning comets flared fiercely past like torches of alarm for God's wars against Evil--a marvellous procession of indescribable wonders sweeping on for ever in circles, grand, huge, and immeasurable.

And as I watched the superb pageant, I was not startled or confused--I looked upon it as anyone might look on any quiet landscape scene in what we know of Nature.

I scarcely could perceive the Earth from whence I had come--so tiny a speck was it--nothing but a mere pin's point in the burning whirl of immensities.
