H. G. Wells said: “There was a time when my little soul shone and was
uplifted at the starry enigma of the
sky. That has gone absolutely. Now I
can go out and look at the stars as I look
at the pattern of the wallpaper on a
railway station waiting room.”
Also attributed to: H.G. Wells
The point
H.G. Wells reflects on losing the sense of awe at the starry sky, now seeing it as merely wallpaper in a waiting room, illustrating the loss of wonder and spiritual vision.
