In all ages of the world's history they have been admired and critically observed. Great temples have been reared in their honour. Mighty nations have worshipped them, and people far removed from each other have been guided in their agricultural and commercial affairs by the rising and setting of these six close-set stars. Mrs. Martin thus charmingly alludes to them: "The magic of their quivering misty light has always made a strong appeal to men of imagination.

More prosaic minds have regarded these stars as a hen surrounded by her chickens, and some have thought that they represented the seven virgins. "Even with people who do not know them by sight and have not felt the sweet influences of the Pleiades, there is a vague memory of some story about a lost Pleiad that stirs an emotion suggesting something romantic and sad. The Pleiades form in truth a delightful group of twinkling unfathomable stars, singularly fascinating and singularly persistent in their brilliancy."--Mrs. Martin.
