"It was as if the grey earth had become the mystery of Time, and the grey sky had become the mystery of Space, and as if all that the inhabitants of the earth had to do now was to drink of the sky and eat of the earth and conduct their affairs in peace and quietness and common sense between the one and the other." —
John Cowper Powys,
Porius(The illustration is from a 1918 issue of
Scribner's magazine.)
