ABSTRACT

Alighieri, Dante . . . Heaven calls you, and revolves around you, displaying to you its eternal beauties. . .

Browning, Robert Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?

Burnham, Robert Jr Here, in the dark unknown immensity of the heavens, we shall meet the glories beyond description and witness scenes of inexpressible splendor. In the great black gulfs of space and in the realm of the innumerable stars, we shall find mysteries and wonders undreamed of.
