"For how long many a meteor stone may have moved in its circular flight as a small descendant of a planet, through the midst of the immense masses of the great regents of the skies, which revolution may have pulled it away into the wide, strange stellar space and have separated it from its mother Ceres or Pallas or whatever their name, how many things may have befallen it during its voyages through those dizzy heights, whose extent man can hardly comprehend, except for those moments of sublime feeling, which at the same time make him bow to HIM who hath created and disposed as HE pleaseth? Such are the thoughts that befall us as we look at the black, mysterious stone, which now lies cold and motionless in our cabinets and which, methinks, in bright nights, when it beholds the distant stars twinkling in the night sky outside, may silently yearn for the time when it moved freely in its audacious flight, that it relished."
Indeed.
