"A marvellous stillness pervaded the world, and the stars, together with the serenity of their rays, seemed to shed upon the earth the assurance of everlasting security."
"He appealed to all sides at once, --- to the side turned perpetually to the light of day, and to that side of us which, like the other hemisphere of the moon, exists stealithly in perpetual darkness, with only a fearful ashy light falling at times on the edge."
- Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim
