Then after the night had passed, the light returned, and there was morning. "And the evening and the morning were the First Day." "And God called the firmament," or expansion, "Heaven.

Its vast, ever-growing mind would have given new expansion to our own mental faculties. We should have grown spiritually, and reached nobler heights together. If we had griefs to endure, grief itself would have been sweet to me if we drank it from the same cup. All this might have been, Madeleine, if you had loved me as I love you."
