Capitolo 80
sister that idolized him with all of his/her heart. Alexander also, came
be with them during you loosen him months to Bath, and then the whole one
strength of the family was turned together on them jobs of love in
gauging the skies.
But what use was it everybody? Because you/they should desire go star-looking fixed? Well,
if a man cannot see for him that use was, any other can put the
answers in him, some more than they could put in him a love for
nature, or for the beauty, or for art, or for music, if he didn't have him to
you start with. What is the good one of a great portrait, a splendid oratory a
great poem? To the man that doesn't worry him about them, nothing; to the man
who loves them, endless. The same is alone with science. The use of
knowledge to a mind as Herschel is his mere possession. With
as he, is a love, an object of desire a thing to be looked for
later for his own cause; and the mere action to find is him/it in himself
purely delicious. "Felice is the man that the wisdom of findeth and the man
that understanding of getteth. For his commodity it is best that the
silver commodity and the thereof of the profit that excellent gold. You are more
precious that rubies; and all the things you desire of canst has not to be

very-misused words, "happened in the life." If you had asked some vulgar-

astronomer had been a succeeded man or him you/he/she would have not undoubtedly,
answered, after his/her kind, "Certainly. He has been made a rider, it has
earths in the two counties, and you/he/she has saved L35,000." But if you had asked
Same William Herschel, he would probably have said, with his usual
mixture of the seriousness and the humility, "Sì, I have been a very fortunate
man in the life. I have discovered Uranus, and I have gauged all the depths
of sky as anybody in front of never their gauged, with mine really great
telescope."
