Examples

“It [the earth] was in the centre of the Kosmos; it remained stationary because of its equal distance from all parts of the outer revolving spheres; there was no cause determining it to move⟳ upward rather than downward or sideways, therefore it remained still. Its exhalations nourished the fire in the peripheral regions of the Kosmos.”

“1874-1875, William Ewart Gladstone, The Church of England and Ritualism […] the spirit of Beauty was so profusely poured forth, that it seemed to fill⟳ the life and action of man as it fills the kingdoms of nature; the one, like⟳ the other, was in its way a Kosmos.”

“An Atom and a Molecule were taking a drive⟳ one afternoon in the pænumbra of the Kosmos.”
