Parhelion Quotes

“Vivian, look!’ chirped Kate, looking up at the amber skies. ‘It’s a sundog!’

Vivian stared into the waking light of Christmas dawn and saw not one, but two rising suns.

‘They’re rare, these. Must be the low-hanging ice crystals creating an echo. A mirror to the sun.’

Like an enormous blade of Æbe’trax, the parhelion had parted the sky in two sectors – one small and made out of dawn, the other large and moulded by nightfall. Each side was dominated by its own mirror-sun, strung across the low firmament like two Christmas baubles.

Vivian squinted. The larger sun was grazed by a shadow.”
― Louise Blackwick, The Book of Chaos
