 "It happened like this. Every time light changed, something in the world was altered. It started with the air, the way it rippled or stood still, its texture, almost imperceptibly at first. Then came water and of course fire. Ah.. fire, that one was quite something."
(from The Book of Longing / The Methodology of the Marvellous)

"There were lighthouses. In time, it attracted the angels and the demons, they ate the light and transformed. They became people, filled with light and gold, blood and sinews, moving all over the lands, bound by gravity to its dust."
(from The Book of Longing / Monsters of Light)
