Stranger
things
we
were
presently
to
see
,
but
that
airless
,
star-dusted
sky
!
Of
all
things
,
I
think
that
will
be
one
of
the
last
I
shall
forget
.
The
little
window
vanished
with
a
click
,
another
beside
it
snapped
open
and
instantly
closed
,
and
then
a
third
,
and
for
a
moment
I
had
to
close
my
eyes
because
of
the
blinding
splendour
of
the
waning
moon
.
For
a
space
I
had
to
stare
at
Cavor
and
the
white-lit
things
about
me
to
season
my
eyes
to
light
again
,
before
I
could
turn
them
towards
that
pallid
glare
.
Four
windows
were
open
in
order
that
the
gravitation
of
the
moon
might
act
upon
all
the
substances
in
our
sphere
.
I
found
I
was
no
longer
floating
freely
in
space
,
but
that
my
feet
were
resting
on
the
glass
in
the
direction
of
the
moon
.
The
blankets
and
cases
of
provisions
were
also
creeping
slowly
down
the
glass
,
and
presently
came
to
rest
so
as
to
block
out
a
portion
of
the
view
.
It
seemed
to
me
,
of
course
,
that
I
looked
"
down
"
when
I
looked
at
the
moon
.
On
earth
"
down
"
means
earthward
,
the
way
things
fall
,
and
"
up
"
the
reverse
direction
.
Now
the
pull
of
gravitation
was
towards
the
moon
,
and
for
all
I
knew
to
the
contrary
our
earth
was
overhead
.
And
,
of
course
,
when
all
the
Cavorite
blinds
were
closed
,
"
down
"
was
towards
the
centre
of
our
sphere
,
and
"
up
"
towards
its
outer
wall
.
It
was
curiously
unlike
earthly
experience
,
too
,
to
have
the
light
coming
up
to
one
.
On
earth
light
falls
from
above
,
or
comes
slanting
down
sideways
,
but
here
it
came
from
beneath
our
feet
,
and
to
see
our
shadows
we
had
to
look
up
.
At
first
it
gave
me
a
sort
of
vertigo
to
stand
only
on
thick
glass
and
look
down
upon
the
moon
through
hundreds
of
thousands
of
miles
of
vacant
space
;
but
this
sickness
passed
very
speedily
.
And
then
--
the
splendour
of
the
sight
!
The
reader
may
imagine
it
best
if
he
will
lie
on
the
ground
some
warm
summer
's
night
and
look
between
his
upraised
feet
at
the
moon
,
but
for
some
reason
,
probably
because
the
absence
of
air
made
it
so
much
more
luminous
,
the
moon
seemed
already
considerably
larger
than
it
does
from
earth
.
The
minutest
details
of
its
surface
were
acutely
clear
.
And
since
we
did
not
see
it
through
air
,
its
outline
was
bright
and
sharp
,
there
was
no
glow
or
halo
about
it
,
and
the
star-dust
that
covered
the
sky
came
right
to
its
very
margin
,
and
marked
the
outline
of
its
unilluminated
part
.
And
as
I
stood
and
stared
at
the
moon
between
my
feet
,
that
perception
of
the
impossible
that
had
been
with
me
off
and
on
ever
since
our
start
,
returned
again
with
tenfold
conviction
.
"
Cavor
,
"
I
said
,
"
this
takes
me
queerly
.
Those
companies
we
were
going
to
run
,
and
all
that
about
minerals
?
