Cassiopeia

"...very early on there predominated in recurrent nightly visions the notion of an approaching end of the world, as a consequence of the indissoluble connection between God and myself. Bad news came in from all sides that even this or that star or this or that group of stars had to be 'given up'; at one time it was said that even Venus had been 'flooded', at another that the whole solar system would now have to be 'disconnected', that the Cassiopeia (the whole group of stars) had to be drawn together into a single sun, that perhaps only the Pleiades could be saved..."
