“We use mind power to float. The more intelligent the spirit, the better they can soar,” said Cresto.

It was a strange new happiness to float in space with a man you respect and worship.

“It was long and long ago our love began;

It is something all unmeasured by Time’s span;

In an era and a spot, by the modern world forgot;

We were lovers, ere God named us Maid and Man.

Like the memory of music made by streams,

All the beauty of that other life seems,

But I always thought it so, and at last I know, I know.

We were lovers in the land of Silver Dreams.
