The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
26
To
which
they
answered,
That
it
was
not
made
that
way,
but
by
an
encounter
of
cold
and
heat;
so
that
an
exhalation
being
kindled
in
the
Clouds,
did
dash
forth
Lightning,
and
that
there
were
so
many
rentings
of
Clouds
as
there
were
Sounds
and
Cracking
noises:
But
this
opinion
was
contradicted
by
others,
who
affirmed
that
Thunder
was
a
sudden
and
monstrous
Blaz,
stirred
up
in
the
Air,
and
did
not
always
require
a
Cloud;
but
the
Empress
not
knowing
what
they
meant
by
Blaz
(for
even
they
themselves
were
not
able
to
explain
the
sense
of
this
word)
liked
the
former
better;
and,
to
avoid
hereafter
tedious
disputes,
and
have
the
truth
of
the
Phænomena's
of
Cœlestial
Bodies
more
exactly
known,
commanded
the
Bear-men,
which
were
her
Experimental
Philosophers,
to
observe
them
through
such
Instruments
as
are
called
Telescopes,
which
they
did
according
to
her
Majesties
Command;
but
these
Telescopes
caused
more
differences
and
divisions
amongst
them,
then
ever
they
had
before;
for
some
said,
they
perceived
that
the
Sun
stood
still,
and
the
Earth
did
move
about
it;
others
were
of
opinion,
that
they
both
did
move;
and
others
said
again,
that
the
Earth
stood
still,
and
Sun
did
move;
some
counted
more
Stars
then
others;
some
discovered
new
Stars
never
seen
before;
some
fell
into
a
great
dispute
with
others
concerning
the
bigness
of
the
Stars;
some
said,
The
Moon
was
another
World
like
their
Terrestrial
Globe,
and
the
spots
therein
were
Hills
and
Vallies;
