"Leehallfae, I fail to see what you personally have to hope for, since you are nothing more than a discarded, dying thought." "Have you never loved a woman?" asked the phaen, regarding him fixedly. "Perhaps I have." "When you loved, did you have no high moments?" "That's asking the same question in other words." "In those moments you were approaching Faceny.
"Can't we come down to hard facts?" said Maskull, frowning. "I understand no more than I did before what you mean by three worlds." "There are no harder facts than the ones I am giving you. The first world is visible, tangible Nature. It was created by Faceny out of nothingness, and therefore we call it Existence." "That I understand." "The second world is Love by which I don't mean lust.
"This stream, Maskull, like every other life stream in Matterplay, has its source in Faceny. But as all these streams issue out from Threal, it is in Threal that we must look for Faceny." "But what's to prevent your finding Threal? Surely it's a well-known country?" "It lies underground. Its communications with the upper world are few, and where they are, no one that I have ever spoken to knows.
A phaen's body contains the whole of life, a man's body contains only the half of life the other half is in woman. Faceny may be too strong a draught for your body to endure.... Do you not feel this?" "I am dull with my different feelings. I must take what precautions I can, and chance the rest."
A mile or two lower down we had those spontaneous plant-animals appearing out of nowhere, while right down by the sea, plants and animals were tumbling over one another. Now, if all this is connected in some mysterious way or other with your Faceny, it seems to me he must have a most paradoxical nature.
"Your luck is fast weakening, but it may still be strong enough to serve me. Together we will search for Threal." "Search for Threal why, is it so hard to find?" "I have told you that my whole life has been spent in the quest." "You said Faceny, Leehallfae." The phaen gazed at him with queer, ancient eyes, and smiled again.
Let me take you back to the daylight." "No, help me forward. I wish to see Faceny." "The sick must have their way," said Maskull. Lifting aer bodily in his arms, he walked quickly along for another hundred yards or so. They then emerged from the tunnel and faced a world the parallel of which he had never set eyes upon before. "Set me down!" directed Leehallfae feebly. "Here I'll die."
