noon
More than thirty years ago two atoms of the eternal Energy sped forth from the heart of it which we call God , and incarnated themselves in the human shapes that were destined to hold them for a while , as vases hold perfumes , or goblets wine , or as sparks of everlasting radium inhabit the bowels of the rock . Perhaps these two atoms , or essences , or monads indestructible , did but repeat an adventure , or many , many adventures . Perhaps again and again they had proceeded from that Home august and imperishable on certain mornings of the days of Time , to return thither at noon or nightfall , laden with the fruits of gained experience . So at least one of them seemed to tell the other before all was done and that other came to believe . If so , over what fields did they roam throughout the æons , they who having no end , could have no beginning ? Not those of this world only , we may be sure .
