As I had always known
he would come, unannounced,
remarkable merely for the absence
of clamour. So truth must appear
to the thinker; so at a stage
of the experiment, the answer
must quietly emerge. I looked
at him, not with the eye
only, but with the whole
of my being, overflowing with
him as a chalice would
with the sea.

Preamble


Significance of Revelation, proper only to the discoverer, lies mainly in a sweet double horror. The horror of having lived so far, impossibly and worthlessly, without that which has just been revealed, and the horror of having to live, still worthlessly, still impossibly, forever awaiting and trusting destiny to reveal the rest.
