At length the heralds and forerunners of the royal sun had done their work, and, searching out the shadows, had caused them to flee away. Then up he came in glory from his ocean-bed, and flooded the earth with warmth and light.
More Quotes from H. Rider Haggard:
Slowly the sun sank, then suddenly darkness rushed down on the land like a tangible thing. There was no breathing-space between the day and night, no soft transformation scene, for in these latitudes twilight does not exist. The change from day to night is as quick and as absolute as the change from life to death.H. Rider Haggard

H. Rider Haggard
Out of the dark we came, into the dark we go. Like a storm-driven bird at night we fly out of the Nowhere for a moment our wings are seen in the light of the fire, and, lo we are gone again into the Nowhere.
H. Rider Haggard
Man's cleverness is almost indefinite, and stretches like an elastic band, but human nature is like an iron ring. You can go round and round it, you can polish it highly, you can even flatten it a little on one side, whereby you will make it bulge out the other, but you will NEVER, while the world endures and man is man, increase its total circumference.
H. Rider Haggard
Who has not in his great grief felt a longing to look upon the outward features of the universal Mother to lie on the mountains and watch the clouds drive across the sky and hear the rollers break in thunder on the shore, to let his poor struggling life mingle for a while in her life to feel the slow beat of her eternal heart, and to forget his woes . . .
