The victor exults, saying, "The stars are jubilant for us." The vanquished mourns, "The stars weep because of our fall."
For I am my universe. Out of my own heaven I gather splendour, and weave thereof the desire of my heart.
From the midst of myself I look out upon my neighbour; but how shall I fathom what is beyond the stars?

We meet together without understanding of one another, as it were two ships passing in the night. We are but as meteors in one another’s sky.
But if the desires of our hearts clash, our worlds are shattered together. We rush into conflict, crying, "God is on our side."
We gather our friends together, crying, "Help to resist the Fiend, lest he tear the world asunder, and Hell triumph."
It is so with the selfish and the unselfish, the wise and the foolish, the lowly and the mighty; with him who labours for his children, and him who would save the people.
