  George Meredith (2010). “The Egoist”, p.549, Broadview Press

• On a starred night Prince Lucifer uprose, Tired of his dark dominion swung the fiend . . . He reached a middle height, and at the stars, Which are the brain of heaven, he looked, and sank. Around the ancient track marched, rank on rank, The army of unalterable law.

  'Lucifer in Starlight'

• Lovely are the curves of the white owl sweeping
  Wavy in the dusk lit by one large star.
  Lone on the fir-branch, his rattle-note unvaried,
  Brooding o'er the gloom, spins the brown eve-jar.
