The South Sea islanders have a singular tradition to account
for the existence of the dew. The legend relates that in the
beginning the earth touched the sky, that being the golden age
when all was beautiful and glad; then some dreadful tragedy
occurred, the primal unity was broken up, the earth and the sky
were torn asunder as we see them now, and the dew-drops of the
morning are the tears that nature sheds over the sad divorce.
