Book 3: True and False Happiness Book III, no. 66, Song V di 82 · 1 min per leggere: song
In Song V, the speaker contrasts amazement at unfamiliar movements in the heavens with calm acceptance of familiar changes on earth. The song argues that ignorance makes rare events seem frightening, while understanding their causes frees the mind from wonder.
Cosa succede

- Nations react with astonishment when the moon dims at night and previously faint stars become bright.
- Storm waves and glaciers melting in summer provoke no wonder because their causes seem clear.
- The speaker concludes that ignorance magnifies unusual events, while understanding removes amazement.
