The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
20
The
Sun,
as
much
as
they
could
observe,
they
related
to
be
a
firm
or
solid
Stone,
of
a
vast
bigness;
of
colour
yellowish,
and
of
an
extraordinary
splendor:
But
the
Moon,
they
said,
was
of
a
whitish
colour;
and
although
she
looked
dim
in
the
presence
of
the
Sun,
yet
had
she
her
own
light,
and
was
a
shining
body
of
her
self,
as
might
be
perceived
by
her
vigorous
appearance
in
Moon-shiny-nights;
the
difference
onely
betwixt
her
own
and
the
Sun's
light
was,
that
the
Sun
did
strike
his
beams
in
a
direct
line;
but
the
Moon
never
respected
the
Centre
of
their
World
in
a
right
line,
but
her
Centre
was
always
excentrical.
The
Spots
both
in
the
Sun
and
Moon,
as
far
as
they
were
able
to
perceive,
they
affirmed
to
be
nothing
else
but
flaws
and
stains
of
their
stony
Bodies.
Concerning
the
heat
of
the
Sun,
they
were
not
of
one
opinion;
some
would
have
the
Sun
hot
in
it
self,
alledging
an
old
Tradition,
that
it
should
at
some
time
break
asunder,
and
burn
the
Heavens,
and
consume
this
world
into
hot
Embers,
which,
said
they,
could
not
be
done,
if
the
Sun
were
not
fiery
of
it
self.
