It is an invariable intense pole of cosmic energy, and what we see are the particles of our terrestrial decomposition flying thither and returning, as fine grains of iron would fly to an intense magnet, or better, as the draught in a room veers towards the fire, attracted infallibly, as a moth towards a candle.
I thought right away that a big vacuum cleaner would make a fine moth catcher if we could only get near enough to the moths.
