Literary notes about Constellate (AI summary)
In literature, "constellate" is employed to evoke an image of disparate elements coming together in a coherent, almost cosmic pattern. In one passage, wonders from an entire age are gathered and aligned into a single, majestic vision, suggesting a grand assembly of history and achievement [1]. In another, the delicate components of nature—individual floral details—are portrayed as separate yet naturally united, reminiscent of stars forming a constellation in the night sky [2].
- He breathes a Grand Committee; all that were The wonders of their age constellate here.
— from Minor Poets of the Caroline Period, Vol. III - The tormentilla gleams in showers along the mountain turf; her delicate crosslets are separate, though constellate, as the rubied daisy.
— from Proserpina, Volume 1 Studies of Wayside Flowers, While the Air was Yet Pure Among the Alps and in the Scotland and England Which My Father Knew by John Ruskin
