GEORGE JOHN WHYTE MELVILLE
English novelist (1821 - 1878)

On the wide-stretching plains of western Asia, in the warm
cloudless Assyrian night, with the lamps of heaven flashing out
their radiance in uninterrupted splendor from the centre to the
boundless horizon, it was no wonder that students and sages
should have accepted for deities those distant worlds of fire on
which eyes, brain, hopes, thoughts, and aspirations were nightly
fixed.
