Excerpt from The Undying Fire: A Contemporary Novel
Two eternal beings, magnificently enhaloed. The one in a blinding excess of white radiance and the other in a bewildering extravagance of colours, converse amidst stupendous surround ings. These surroundings are by tradition palatial, but there is now also a marked cosmic tendency about them. They have no definite locality; they are above and comprehensive of the material universe.
