| 520 | _a"The Storm-Cloud of the Nineteenth Century" by John Ruskin is a collection of lectures written in the late 19th century. This insightful work discusses meteorological phenomena, particularly a distinctive type of cloud that Ruskin identifies as a "plague-cloud," which he claims has emerged only in modern times. Focusing on the changes in weather patterns and their implications, the lectures reflect Ruskin's keen observations and philosophical musings on the relationship between nature and human morality. The opening of the text begins with Ruskin asserting the significance of cloud analysis and expressing his determination to provide an accurate description of the meteorological changes he observes. He contrasts his present reality of persistent gray clouds and a "bitter, blighting wind" with the more vibrant and dynamic clouds of past eras. Through historical references and personal anecdotes, Ruskin sets the stage for exploring the impact of these "plague-clouds" not only on the environment but also on the human spirit. He emphasizes the emotional and spiritual turmoil wrought by the relentless, dreary weather, which he sees as a reflection of the societal malaise of his time.
