But you are not a fool, you know or you perceive instinctively exactly what I mean. The inside of a sun-ray! it was disclosed to me suddenly a veritable miracle! I have seen it many times since, but not with all the wonder and ecstasy of the first revelation. I was so young, too!
Let us transform and amplify that power and we encompass destruction. The air is filled with energy. A sun-ray is energy; you will recall that Archimedes concentrated it through immense burning-glasses which set fire to Roman ships." His voice had grown clear and strong, as though he was lecturing to a class of students.
"I can see the battleline!" cried Archer. Tom took the glass with unusual excitement. Far across the Alsatian country, north and south, ran a dim, gray line, seeming to have no more substance than a rainbow or the dust in a sun-ray. Far to the north it bent westward and he knew its course lay through the mountains. But short of those blue heights it seemed to peter out in a sort of gray mist.
A tiny brown wren sang canticles of rapture in the thicket. A great light came into the priest's face a sun-ray from the east, far beyond the tree-tops. "Blessed Jeanne d'Arc, I drink from thy fountain in thy name. I vow my life to thy cause. Aid me, aid this my son, to fight valiantly for freedom and for France. In the name of God, amen." The soldier looked up at him.
"That was my first experience of real 'happiness. Till then I had lived the usual monotonous life of childhood, doing what I was told, and going whither I was taken, but the disclosure of the sun-ray was a key to individuality, and seemed to unlock my prison doors.

So shall I. That's the Chief all over.
As the sun-ray falling upon water is twisted and distorted, so is it with the rays of a perfect truth falling in amongst a community of imperfect men; and no action down here can be a perfect action, for "action," it is written in an ancient book, "is surrounded with evil as a fire is surrounded with smoke."
And at the south-western corner of the building, just where the sun-ray from the south-west made a sharp line against the black shadow cast by the western front of the building, an old Franciscan was sitting; not Father Fabiano, but his sole companion, Friar Simone, the lay-brother.
The stone glows with the sun, seems almost to have a soul glowing with the sense, the sun-ray sense, of freedom. The heart leaps up in the Ramesseum, not frivolously, but with a strange, sudden knowledge of the depths of passionate joy there are in life and in bountiful, glorious nature.
His heart sank as he did the small sum in subtraction: but he controlled himself, noting that they sailed off to the right. It was pretty to see them rising out of the blue liquid shadow of the harbour-pool; rising until, in a flash, they took the morning sun-ray that struck almost level across the top of the chasm, and were transformed into winged jewels, dazzling the eye.
