You're welcome! I've never seen the Northern Lights in person myself but hope to one day. They were seen in Fredericksburg, VA once famously, as I recall from
Gods and Generals, which also quotes George Eliot:
Quote:
|
A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of the earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar and unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge. The best introduction to astronomy, is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead.

There's nothing like watching the heavens above in the night sky. To God be the glory!
