Imagine yourself capable of flying to the top of the highest mountain on earth, and beyond this—
Suppose yourself in space, the air scintillating with light, and that through this illimitable space you are wheeling—
Around you speed gorgeous balls of light, glowing with varied colours of amethyst, ruby, topaz and emerald dyes, like mammoth gems whirling through the air, while beyond this pyrotechnic revolution of worlds, you see afar off the Land of Souls!
