"The Globe"
David Normal says:
A candle illuminates all the world! The sun is but a single candle in the vastness of space. Beneath the Earth pilgrims go marching into the furnaces of Hell. In Heaven there are prehistoric jungles where our ancestors still dwell; immortal, primordial, smiling for no reason. And when the globe turns, a single candle becomes a star, and the pilgrims march out of the center of the earth, and Hell is an aboriginal paradise melting into the sea.
