the rainbow, just behind the clouds, he found a wondrous
city. Its houses were of gold, and its streets
were paved with silver, and the light that shone upon
it was as the light that lies upon the sleeping world
at dawn. In this city there were palaces so
beautiful that merely to look upon them satisfied all
desires; temples so perfect that they who once knelt
therein were cleansed of sin. And all the men
who dwelt in this wondrous city were great and good,
and the women fairer than the women of a young man’s
dreams. And the name of the city was, “The
city of the things men meant to do.”
