The city has itscunning wiles, no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempter.There are large forces which allure with all the soulfulness of expressionpossible in the most cultured human. The gleam of a thousand lights is often aseffective as the persuasive light in a wooing and fascinating eye. Half theundoing of the unsophisticated and natural mind is accomplished by forceswholly superhuman.

I amnot solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone,let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separatebetween him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparentwith this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime.Seen in the streets of cities, how great they are! If the stars should appear one night in athousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations theremembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out theseenvoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.Questions:a. This paragraph is taken from a famous essay. What is the name of the essay?b. Who is the author?c. What does the author say would happen if the stars appeared one night in a thousandyears?d. Give a specific term to cover the author's belief?。
