Thunder rode in that rushing, rolling blackness of cloud; and it was rent by lightning as it fell upon us. Then it was rain, wind, obscureness of gloom, and lightning.

There were fifteen men of them to each yard, and the gaskets were well passed ere we were struck.
Think what a thing it is, Harmachis, to be set on high above the gaping crowd of knaves who hate thee for thy fortune and thy wit; who gnash their teeth and shoot the arrows of their lies from the cover of their own obscureness, whence they have no wings to soar; and whose hearts' quest it is to drag down thy nobility to the level of the groundling and the fool!
The Rajah, it would appear, frowns interrogatively, in the princely fashion, accusing him of obscureness of speech: princes and the louder members of the grey public are fraternally instant to spurn at the whip of that which they do not immediately comprehend.

Something quick and subtle ran through my veins; something that for a few moments seemed to burn away the obscureness which blurs our thought. I began to understand several problems that had puzzled me, and then lost their explanations in the midst of light, inner light, I mean.
