Example Sentence (Quote)

"As I drew near the end, the sense of strangeness returned to me.

It was no mere change in conditions and institutions the comet had wrought. It had made a change of heart and mind." - Comet

Example Sentence (Quote)

"At first it had been an almost telescopic speck; it had brightened to the dimensions of the greatest star in the heavens; it had still grown, hour by hour, in its incredibly swift, its noiseless and inevitable rush upon our earth, until it had equaled and surpassed the moon. Now it was the most splendid thing this sky of earth has ever held. I have never seen a photograph that gave a proper idea of it. Never at any time did it assume the conventional tailed outline, comets are supposed to have." - Comet

Example Sentence (Quote)

Example Sentence (Quote)

"I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet.
