Also according to Maulbow, there was a race of the future, human in appearance, with machines to sail the current of time through the universe to run and tack with the winds of time, dipping in and out of the normspace of distant periods and galaxies as they chose.
And they were like what was it they were like? it came to me with a distinct shock. They were like the galaxies of little aureate and sapphire stars in the clear gray heavens of Norhala's eyes. I crept beside Drake, struck him with my head. "Can't move," I shouted. "Can't lift my hands. Stuck fast like a fly just as you said." "Drag 'em over your knees," he cried, bending to me.
In these plans nothing was omitted. All the detail, all the nomenclature, all the ceremonial of the imaginary government was fully set forth, Polemarchs and Phylarchs, Tribes and Galaxies, the Lord Archon and the Lord Strategus.
Black behind them the night of space was pricked by points of light, the infinite multitude of the stars. Before them lay nothing. The utter emptiness of space between the galaxies. "Thlek Styrs! What happened?" asked Morey in amazement, his pet Venerian phrase rolling out in his astonishment. "Tried an experiment, and it was overly successful," replied Arcot, a worried look on his face.
This was virtually settled by Sir J. Herschel's description in 1847 of the structure of the Magellanic clouds; but it was not until Whewell, in 1853, and Herbert Spencer, in 1858, enforced the conclusions necessarily to be derived therefrom that the conception of the nebulæ as remote galaxies, which Lord Rosse's resolution of many into stellar points had appeared to support, began to withdraw into the region of discarded and half-forgotten speculations.
He didn't want to believe it and knew he must. These Idealists who could master galaxies and tame the wild Markovians was there anything they could not do? "Not a game," Venor protested. "We planned this because we wanted you to see what you have seen. We wanted a man of Earth to know what we have done."
Wherefore your parliaments are not henceforth to come out of the bag of AEolus, but by your galaxies, to be the perpetual food of the fire of Vesta. For at this rate you must always have 200 knowing men in the government.
Outside the transparent metal hull of that monster of the trackless void, there was nothing visible. The Galaxy of which our Earth is an infinitesimal mote, the Galaxy which former astronomers considered the Universe, was so far behind that its immeasurable diameter was too small to affect the vision of the unaided eye. Other Galaxies lay at even greater distances away on either side.
The winter passed in its turn, and March reappeared with its galaxies of yellow jonquils at the windy street corners, reminding Ann Eliza of the spring day when Evelina had come home with a bunch of jonquils in her hand. In spite of the flowers which lent such a premature brightness to the streets the month was fierce and stormy, and Ann Eliza could get no warmth into her bones.
Again, the evanescence of the atom into galaxies of "electrons" destroys the only physical theory that ever threatened us with Atheism; and the infinitesimal electrons themselves open up an immeasurable perspective into the abyss of an Unknowable in which all things "live and move and have their being."
