182 ANGELS AND WOMENdren. I paused not until I found myself beyondthe limits of the deserted city, and comingupon an open plain, gazed long and earnestlyinto the southern sky.

Impalpable resistance,imponderable weight. Nor night nor discord,age or death. Swift as thought, firmas the will of God. There dwells EternalOrder[ ! There dwells Eternal Noon
