Let earth unbalanced from her orbit fly, Planets and suns run lawless through the sky; Let ruling angels from their spheres be hurled, Being on being wrecked, and world on world; Heaven's whole foundations to their centre nod, And nature tremble to the throne of God.

So is it with our inmost soul as well It stretches out, a wider orbit gains, Described about the selfsame centre still.

"Beyond the sphere that widest orbit hath Passeth the sigh that issues from my heart, While weeping Love doth unto him impart Intelligence which leads him on his path, "When at the wished-for place his flight he stays, A lady he beholds, in honor dight, And shining so, that, through her splendid light, The pilgrim spirit upon her doth gaze.

While the inclined position of the earth on its axis and its movement in its elliptical orbit influence the general amount of heat, it is rather to the consequences of these in detail that we are called when we speak of temperature.

Nature, the orbit-maker, proclaims it summer until, the month three-quarters old, the equinox is crossed.

Ptolemy's efforts at exactness were baulked, as we have seen, by the supposed necessity of all the orbit planes passing through the earth, and if Copernicus had simply transferred this responsibility to the sun he would have done better.

When a star is within measurable distance, these angles are acute, and the lines from the star to the earth at opposite sides of its orbit converge, therefore.

And were we not ourselves like pulsing suns Who, once an aeon met within the void, So fiery close, forget how far away Each orbit sweeps, and dream a little space Of fiery wedding.
