To them it is in essence the light shining bright in the darkness. An accurate comparison to this view would be the Garden of Eden of Adam and Eve. The Pur .....

.... Flatland. Priests in Flatland are a certain type of polygon. A circle in fact, "that is considered a polygon because of the large number of small sides that the polygon contains. As the number of the sides increases, a polygon approximates to circle; and, when the number is very great indeed, say for example three or four hundred, it is the most difficult for any delicate touch to feel a polygonal angle."

.... see them, for a fleeting instant, before the scenery of his mind changed. He saw five fingers, and there was no deformity. Then everything was normal again, and the old fear, the hatred and the bewilderment came crowding back again. But there had been a moment – he did not know how long, thirty seconds, perhaps – of luminous certainty, when each new suggestion of O'Brien's had filled up a patch of emptiness and had become absolute truth, and when two and two could have been three as easily as five, if that were what was needed. It had faded out before O'Brien .....
