STRANGER. Poor child!
TEMPTER. A human history, that's about to begin. (A bridal couple
cross the stage.) And there--what's loveliest, and most bitter.
Adam and Eve in Paradise, that in a week will be a Hell, and in a
fortnight Paradise again.
STRANGER. What is loveliest, brightest! The first, the only, the
last that ever gave life meaning! I, too, once sat in the sunlight
on a verandah, in the spring beneath the first tree to show new
green, and a small crown crowned a head, and a white veil lay like
thin morning mist over a face ... that was not that of a human
being. Then came darkness!
TEMPTER. Whence?
STRANGER. From the light itself. I know no more.
TEMPTER. It could only have been a shadow, for light is needed to
throw shadows; but for darkness no light is needed.
STRANGER. Stop! Or we'll never come to an end.
(The CONFESSOR and the CHAPTER appear in procession.)
TEMPTER (disappearing). Farewell!
CONFESSOR (advancing with a large black bier-cloth). Lord! Grant
him eternal peace!
CHOIR. May he be illumined with perpetual light!
CONFESSOR (wrapping the STRANGER to the bier-cloth). May he rest in
peace!
CHOIR. Amen!
Curtain.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.

even years after the official publication date.

midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.

and editing by those who wish to do so.
