If a powerful emotion should ignite them all at once they would produce a splendor so dazzling that it would illuminate far beyond what we can normally see; and then a brilliant tunnel would appear before our eyes, revealing the path we forgot the moment we were born, and summoning us to regain the divine origin we had lost. The soul ever longs to return to the place from which it came, leaving the body lifeless. . . .

We'd itch the vermin feasting on our flesh and share the day's many rumors: The King had declared peace. No, the King was sending German and Russian mercenaries to destroy us.
