NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



"Sad Hesper, o'er the buried sun, 

 And ready thou, to die with him; 

 Thou watchest all things ever dim 

 And dimmer, and a glowy dome. 



Bright Phosphor, fresher for the night, 

 By thee the world's great work is heard 

 Beginning, and the wakeful bird; 

 Behind thee comes the greater light. 



Sweet Hesper — Phosphor, double name 

 For what is one, the first, the last, 

 Thou like my present and my past, 

 Thy place is changed, thou art the same. 



— Tennyson — In Memoriam. 



Procyon — The little dog Star. 

 Sirius — The big dog Star.
