Slowly it was being impinged upon him that in the beauty of this new world that was his there was no longer the warm and pulsing beat of the heart that was life.

He was alone.

ALONE! Everything else was covered up; everything else seemed dead.
He went back to Neewa and lay close to him all through the day.

And through the night that followed he did not move again from the cavern.
He went only as far as the door and saw celestial spaces ablaze with stars and a moon that rode up into the heavens like a white sun.

They, too, seemed no longer like the moon and stars he had known.
