A review of FROM SQUARE ONE, by the blogger Morningstar.
http://inallweathers.blogspot.com/2009/08/square-one.html
In case you were wondering, the source quote for the blog title is by James Russell Lowell: “The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers, is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.”
As for the origin of morningstar as a single word, I’m afraid you’re on your own.
[Correction: I got that one all wrong. Although Bartleby provided me with the Lowell citation above, Morningstar posts the source of the quote right on her blog. I just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, here's what she had in mind: “He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.” -Barrow]
