...cast of each of 50,000 different stars must be studied before conclusions can be drawn, and as in order to do this 2,000 plates must be examined minutely, the problem is a most difficult one. The difficulty is increased by the fact that the stars move so slowly that it is a long time before any two plates of the same portion of sky can be compared...
...German, Dutch, Bohemian glass, made in the Middle Ages, blown into the tiny translucence of spray bubbles, wreathed into frail, florent cornucopias, drawn into the cruel delicacy of icicles, chiseled into the sunny symmetrical angles of molecular bodies, the collection of Dr. H.

...book is filled with colorful people, rainbow scenery, amazing weather. The lean, kind, sandy figure of Kit Carson welcomes the Bishop at Taos. Navajos, Zuñis, Acomas, remnants of the cleanly pueblo tribes, move quietly about in smaller villages, vivid as their blankets and pottery, drawn with the patient accuracy of an archeologist. Cornelian hills circle Santa Fé, where the cathedral arises like a golden butte. Windstorms smother the bishop on the plains, cloudbursts drench him among the peaks...
