The Fairy-Land of Science
·
Arabella B. Buckley
23
We
are
all
groping
dimly
for
the
Unseen
Power,
but
no
one
who
loves
nature
and
studies
it
can
ever
feel
alone
or
unloved
in
the
world.
Facts,
as
mere
facts,
are
dry
and
barren,
but
nature
is
full
of
life
and
love,
and
her
calm
unswerving
rule
is
tending
to
some
great
though
hidden
purpose.
You
may
call
this
Unseen
Power
what
you
will
-
may
lean
on
it
in
loving,
trusting
faith,
or
bend
in
reverent
and
silent
awe;
but
even
the
little
child
who
lives
with
nature
and
gazes
on
her
with
open
eye,
must
rise
in
some
sense
or
other
through
nature
to
nature's
God.

Sunbeams
and
How
They
Work
Who
does
not
love
the
sunbeams,
and
feel
brighter
and
merrier
as
he
watches
them
playing
on
the
wall,
sparkling
like
diamonds
on
the
ripples
of
the
sea,
or
making
bows
of
coloured
light
on
the
waterfall?
Is
not
the
sunbeam
so
dear
to
us
that
it
has
become
a
household
word
for
all
that
is
merry
and
gay?
and
when
we
want
to
describe
the
dearest,
busiest
little
sprite
amongst
us,
who
wakes
a
smile
on
all
faces
wherever
she
goes,
do
we
not
call
her
the
"sunbeam
of
the
house"?
And
yet
how
little
even
the
wisest
among
us
know
about
the
nature
and
work
of
these
bright
messengers
of
the
sun
as
they
dart
across
space!
Did
you
ever
wake
quite
early
in
the
morning,
when
it
was
pitch-
dark
and
you
could
see
nothing,
not
even
your
own
hand;
and
then
lie
watching
as
time
went
on
till
the
light
came
gradually
creeping
in
at
the
window?
If
you
have
done
this
you
will
have
noticed
that
you
can
at
first
only
just
distinguish
the
dim
outline
of
the
furniture;
then
you
can
tell
the
difference
between
the
white
cloth
on
the
table
and
the
dark
wardrobe
beside
it;
then
by
degrees
all
the
smaller
details,
the
handles
of
the
drawer,
the
pattern
on
the
wall,
and
the
different
colours
of
all
the
objects
in
the
room
become
clearer
and
clearer
till
at
last
you
see
all
distinctly
in
broad
daylight.
