CHARLES.
Are there stars then by day as well as by night?
DR. BARTLETT.
Certainly. But the stronger light of the sun, makes the fainter light of the stars invisible.
CHARLES.
How beautiful the trees and fields begin to appear.
DR. BARTLETT.
Yes. What just now appeared a scene of confusion, is changed into a charming country. The fields, which were before not to be distinguished, now seem green, and decked with a thousand flowers. The light gives all again their colours.
CHARLES.
What you say is remarkable. I begin to imagine that the light gives the colours.
