Ceylon has this one disadvantage for purposes of theatrical effect; she is like a star rising heliacally, and hidden in the blaze of the sun

These numbers are now called dual numbers (a term due to Study) and can be defined as expressions of the form a+b𝜀, 𝜀²=0. When this is done as Kotel'nikov and Study showed, the dual distance between two points of this sphere representing two lines, forming an angle 𝜑 and having shortest distance d, is equal to the dual number 𝜑+𝜀d, while the motions of Euclidean space are represented by rotations of the dual sphere, and consequently depend on three dual parameters.

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes, and adversity is not without comforts and hopes.
