Thaumaturgus, who legend has said was a kind and generous man not dissimilar to Saint Nicholas after who Santa Claus is modelled. On Christmas Eve everyone in the family, carries a lit candle, to stand around an unlit bonfire outside their house. The youngest child usually the son of the family reads the Christmas story, after which the bonfire is lit. The way the flames spread shows the luck of the house in the coming year. When the fire burns, psalms are sung, and when it sinks, everyone leaps over the embers making wishes. Early on Christmas morning everyone goes to Mass. At this Mass another bonfire is lit in the middle of the floor. While the wood is blazing, ancient hymns are sung and the celebrant carries a figure of the Christ Child around the building. After this the celebrant then touches the nearest person in a "touch of peace". This touch is passed from one to another until everyone has received it.
The trial at an end, the abjuration made public, the broken Galileo spent his remaining eight years under house arrest at his villa outside Florence. It was at this time that he wrote perhaps his finest book, th Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, a study of motion and inertia. His eldest daughter, Sister Marie Celeste (16001634), whom he had sent to a convent [ nunnaklooster ]against her wishes twentythree years earlier, stayed with him to the end. Every day she said the seven Psalms of penitence ordered by the Holy Office as part of his sentence. Galileo continued to gaze at the stars through his telescope until 1637, when his sight finally failed him. "This universe that I have extended one thousand times," he wrote, "has now shrunk to the narrow confines of my own body." The trial and condemnation of Galileo marked the climax of the first wave of the Scientific Revolution
singing on the steamboat deck... (lines15) Whitman writes about the diversity of work here and the people who take pride in what they do. His use of imagery creates a vivid picture of hard working people. Whitman modified standard "King's English" diction and abandoned traditional rhyme schemes and formal meters. Free verse is apparent throughout Whitman's works, which he patterned after ancient poetic forms, incantations, and praises from The Bible (Psalms) and Homer. He attempts to mirror the patterns of spoken language. Whitman's values are reflected in his subject matter and style. In "Song of Myself #1," for example, Whitman writes: I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. (l.13) Whitman celebrates unity of all life and people. His belief in equality for all people is also depicted in these lines
