How glorious, how infinitely sublime I The words were spoken by a young man who for some moments had been standing with his head uncov ered, as if in very reverence of the Splendid aerial pageant, watching the colors of earth and sky blend and interchange until they finally became one grand ensemble of spectacular enchantment before his rapturous gaze.
