She thought so. Why hadn't he made sure? in that interval before he came back for her. She might have stayed at Froswick for the night. Plenty of decent people would have put her up. He remembered how he had delayed to call the cab till the last moment. ... Good God! how could a man know what he had thought! He was fair moidered bedazzled by that awful thing and all the change of plans.
But it seemed to her to fit in, to be the laughter of mountain and forest and infinity of space at her and her silly friends. "And you picture ME taking permanent part in that show, or toiling to find you the money to do it with. ME! ... Merely because I've been, for a moment, somewhat bedazzled by its cheap glitter." Margaret felt that he had torn off the mask and had revealed his true self.
Beside the box were set three shallow trays, lined with blue velvet, and filled full of goldsmith's work-glittering chains, linked or twisted, bracelets in the form of yellow snakes with green eyes, buckles with ivory teeth, glove-clasps thick with pearls, ear-rings and finger-rings with precious stones. I stared bedazzled from the display to him who stood as showman.
Either the sudden gleams of light flashing over the obscure field bedazzled Goodman Brown, or he recognized a score of the church members of Salem village famous for their especial sanctity. Good old Deacon Gookin had arrived, and waited at the skirts of that venerable saint, his revered pastor.
But hope bedazzled all anxieties and stopped up the gaps for the moment. And we admired the beauty of military orderliness and France's preparation. Sometimes, at windows or street-corners, there were apparitions people covered with new uniforms. We had known them in vain, and did not know them at first.

In them is the hiding as well as the showing of His power. But there the veil which draped the perfect likeness, and gave but dim hints through its heavy swathings of the outline of immortal beauty that lay beneath, shall fall away. No longer befooled by shadows, we shall possess the true substance; no longer bedazzled by shows, we shall behold the reality. And seeing God we shall be satisfied.

The object of mystic contemplation is the One indivisible. But we can also think the One as the unity of all differences, the Circle of the Universe.
