land, and she was sick with a nausea so deep that she perished

as she sat. And then, in the blowing clouds, she saw a band of

faint iridescence colouring in faint colours a portion of the

hill. And forgetting, startled, she looked for the hovering

colour and saw a rainbow forming itself. In one place it gleamed

fiercely, and, her heart anguished with hope, she sought the

shadow of iris where the bow should be. Steadily the colour

gathered, mysteriously, from nowhere, it took presence upon

itself, there was a faint, vast rainbow. The arc bended and

strengthened itself till it arched indomitable, making great

architecture of light and colour and the space of heaven, its

pedestals luminous in the corruption of new houses on the low

hill, its arch the top of heaven.

And the rainbow stood on the earth. She knew that the sordid

people who crept hard-scaled and separate on the face of the

world's corruption were living still, that the rainbow was

arched in their blood and would quiver to life in their spirit,

that they would cast off their horny covering of disintegration,

that new, clean, naked bodies would issue to a new germination,

to a new growth, rising to the light and the wind and the clean

rain of heaven. She saw in the rainbow the earth's new

architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and

factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of

Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven.
