beauty that is unique. This appears
only at night and in pla es that are

around them, and, as they sputter and
flicker. the nebulp seer over the roofs
and awnings appear like the reflection
OF q great fire, except that the light is
white instead Of red and yellow. When
forms are blurred in the mist, and dis.
lance is obliterated, this playing and
flashing Of pallid lights Is magical and
uncanny as we'll as beautiful.
