Peace was restored to nature in the morning, but every mouth was full of the dreadful accidents which had happened in the night. The sky was cloudless when I awoke, and such was the transparence of the atmosphere that I could clearly discern the rocks, and even some white buildings on the island of Caprea, though at the distance of several miles.
The liveliness of every shadow is that some light is reflected into it; shade and shine have been entangled as though by some wild wind through their million molecules. The coolness and the dark of night are interlocked with the unclouded sun. Turn sunward from the north, and shadows come to life, and are themselves the life, the action, and the transparence of their day.
I cannot shun Thy presence, For through its veil of flesh Thy piercing eye Looketh upon my spirit's unsoiled essence, As through the pure transparence of the sky; Let not the oppressor clap his bloody hands, As o'er my prostrate innocence he stands!
But in jotting down these details, true as they are, I seem to myself to be painting fire, with a little snow and saffron mixed on a marble pallet. There is a beauty too spiritual to be chained in a string of items; and Julia's fair features were but the china vessel that brimmed over with the higher loveliness of her soul. Her essential charm was, what shall I say? Transparence.
And then I recalled what I had observed, but in my haste forgotten Lord Castlewood was greatly changed even in the short time since I had left his house for Shoxford. But now they showed worse sign than this a delicate transparence of faint color, and a waxen surface, such as I had seen at a time I can not bear to think of.
Both are urged to work by a lofty utilitarianism the search for God through the individual soul in Unamuno, the search for God through the social soul in Wordsworth so that their thoughts and sensations are polarized and their spirit loses that impartial transparence for nature's lights without which no great art is possible.
But as the day wore on, the sun, mounting higher in the heavens, scattered its beams over the sea just emerging from its mists, heavy with sleep, dazed, motionless, with a quartz-like transparence, and myriads of rays fell upon the water as if arrow-points had pricked it, making a dazzling reflection, doubled in intensity by the whiteness of the cliffs and the soil, by a veritable African sirocco which raised the dust in a spiral column as the carriage passed.
There being but little of any other atmosphere, much of it consists of what you might call the vapour of hydrogen, and many of the well-known gases and liquids on earth exist only as liquids and solids; so that, were there mortal inhabitants on Cassandra, they might build their houses of blocks of oxygen or chlorine, as you do of limestone or marble, and use ice that never melts, in place of glass, for transparence.
Her face, again, was long and oval, with a peculiar transparence to the skin and a peculiar faint, healthy circulation of the blood well below the surface, which relieved her complexion of pallor, but did not give her a colour.
Out of her fruit she annually conserved miracles of flavor and transparence, great plums like those in Aladdin's garden, of shining topaz, peaches tinged with the odorous bitter of their pits, and clear as amber, crimson crabs floating in their own ruby sirup, or transmuted into jelly crystal clear, yet breaking with a grain, and jelly from the acid currants to garnish her dinner-table or refresh the fevered lips of a sick neighbor.
