________________ [ 70 ] There is but Oneness beyond time, place and space; and it is a Void that stirs not; a Void which has swallowed stillness which has swallowed itself. I am that Void. But who may he be who comes hither bearing a sheet of crystal glow in his hands? (A big cloud passes overhead, a sheet of lightning flashes across the air and the cloud vanishes leaving behind a lavender-hued light on the stage) INDRA (appears with a sheet of crystal-a cloth which seems woven of moon-beams) I am Indra.... Behold; this cloth of crystalline glow have I brought to cover up and grow part of Your shining nakedness, itself the raiment angels wear when things are born. VOICE (from somewhere) I am as naked as a gem And as a cloud or tree : When things are born the angels wear This nakedness of me.
