• Were the succession of stars endless, then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity, like that displayed by the Galaxy-since there could be absolutely no point, in all that background, at which would not exist a star. The only mode, therefore, in which, under such a state of affairs, we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions, would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all.

• And you, Ringbearer' she said, turning to Frodo. 'I come to you last who are not last in my thoughts. For you I have prepared this.' She held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it and rays of white light sprang from her hand. 'In this phial,' she said,' is caught the light of Earendil's star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out. Frodo took the phial, and for a moment as it shone between them, he saw her again standing like a queen, great and beautiful.

• Oh, Constellations of the early night
  That sparkled brighter as the twilight died,
  And made the darkness glorious! I have seen
  Your rays grow dim upon the horizon's edge
  And sink behind the mountains. I have seen
  The great Orion, with his jewelled belt,
  That large-limbed warrior of the skies, go down
  Into the gloom. Beside him sank a crowd
  Of shining ones.

  William C. Bryant

• It is not strange that that early love of the heart should come back, as it so often does when the dim eye is brightening with its last light. It is not strange that the freshest fountains the heart has ever known in its wastes should bubble up anew when the lifeblood is growing stagnant. It is not strange that a bright memory should come to a dying old man, as the sunshine breaks across the hills at the close of a stormy day; nor that in the light of that ray, the very clouds that made the day dark should grow gloriously beautiful.

  Nathaniel Hawthorne

• The Book, this Holy Book, on every line,
  Mark'd with the seal of high divinity,
  On every leaf bedew'd with drops of love
  Divine, and with the eternal heraldry
  And signature of God Almighty stamp'd
  From first to last; this ray of sacred light,
  This lamp, from off the everlasting throne,
  Mercy took down, and in the night of time
  Stood, casting on the dark her gracious bow;
  And evermore beseeching men With tears
  And earnest sighs, to read, believe and live.
