Cosmical

During the little segment of time that man has been upon the earth, only one great calamity that might be called cosmical has befallen it. ❋ John Burroughs (1879)

Another and different kind of cosmical, or, rather, material mode of contact is, however, opened to us, if we admit falling stars and meteoric stones to be planetary asteroids. ❋ Alexander Von Humboldt (1814)

And since these spontaneous activities of children have not yet been thoroughly thought out from a high point of view, and have not yet been regarded from what I might almost call their cosmical and anthropological side, we may from day to day expect some philosopher to write a comprehensive and important book about them.

Wright believed that changes in interstellar space constituted, in a way similar to meteorology, “cosmical weather” (PD 10). ❋ De Groot, Jean (2009)

These cosmical factors provided a mechanism for multiple glacial epochs and alternating cold and warm periods in each hemisphere. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Further, Mr. Grote supposes, not that (Greek) means ‘revolving,’ or that this is the sense in which Aristotle understood the word, but that the rotation of the earth is necessarily implied in its adherence to the cosmical axis. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The human soul, like the cosmical, is framed before the body, as the mind is before the soul of either — this is the order of the divine work — and the finer parts of the body, which are more akin to the soul, such as the spinal marrow, are prior to the bones and flesh. ❋ Unknown (2006)

He seemed to think he was making a point against Einstein, rather than for him, for he added: 'There is only one fault with his cosmical religion: he put an extra letter in the word - the letter "s".' ❋ Dawkins, Richard, 1941- (2006)

Because it will be manifest that motion from east to west is perfectly cosmical, and by consent of the universe, being most rapid in the highest parts of the heavens, and gradually falling off, and finally stopping and becoming extinct in the immovable — that is, the earth. ❋ Unknown (2005)

And first there are certain virtues which subsist only in a cosmical quantity, that is, such a quantity as has consent with the configuration and fabric of the universe. ❋ Unknown (2005)

From the earliest traceable cosmical changes down to the latest results of civilization, we shall find that the transformation of the homogeneous into the heterogeneous is that in which progress consists. ❋ Lewontin, Richard C. (2005)

Of the enormous and much-dreaded globe there remained nothing but these fragments carried in all directions, now become asteroids in their turn, some flaming like a sword, some surrounded by a whitish cloud, and others leaving behind them trains of brilliant cosmical dust. ❋ Unknown (2003)

No, not since nature had given them the splendid sight of a cosmical meteor bursting from expansion, since this inimitable firework, which no Ruggieri could imitate, had lit up for some seconds the invisible glory of the moon. ❋ Unknown (2003)

It was like an aurora borealis, a continuous cosmical phenomenon, filling a cavern of sufficient extent to contain an ocean. ❋ Unknown (2003)
