It gave me strange pleasure to follow these friends viewlessly, and I did follow them, as I thought, to the park. Lo! the iron gateway, between the stone columns, was spanned by a flaming arch built of massed stars; and, following them cautiously beneath that arch, where were they, and where was I?
