It is only necessary to study such works as those of Buckle or Draper , of White or Stewart Ross , or better still , if time permits , those of ecclesiastical historians , written by the pens of divines , to become aware of the appalling gloom that was cast over the splendour that was Greece , and the grandeur that was Rome , in that dismal night of a thousand years which lapped the Western world in a sea of blood and tears .

… they support is the whole vault of night. The charioteer is a man in golden armour, studded with sapphires, but over his shoulders is a white robe, and over that a red robe. Upon his golden helmet he beareth for his crest a crab. His hands are clasped upon a cup, from which radiates a ruddy glow, constantly increasing, so that every- thing is blotted out by its glory, and the whole Aire is filled with it. And there is a marvellous perfume in the Aire, like unto the perfume of Ra Hoor Khuit, but sublimated, as if the quintessence of that perfum…
