I was astounded:
"You don't know? But you knew just now, about this, about those strange eyes! . . ."
"It all starts with that. But other things come afterwards, things which vary and which I know nothing about!"
"But how can that be possible?" I asked. "Do you mean to say that you don't know anything about them, you who prepared everything for them?"
"I prepared them, but I do not control them. As I told you, I have opened a door which leads into the darkness; and from that darkness unforeseen images emerge."
"But is the thing that's coming of the same nature as those eyes?"
"No."
"Then what is it, uncle?"
"The thing that's coming will be a representation of images in conformity with what we are accustomed to see."
"Things which we shall understand, therefore?"
