“The lines and rows of crowding houses trembled, disappeared. The heavy buildings dissolved before his very eyes. The solid walls and roofs were gone, the chimneys, railings, doors and porches vanished. There were no more conservatories. There were no lamp-posts. The streets themselves had melted. He gazed in amazement and delight. The entire hill lay bare and open to the sky.”

Blackwood, Algernon. “The Bright Messenger.”

“In place of the heavy suburb lay this garden of primal beauty, while yet, in a sense, the suburb itself remained as well. Only—it had flowered ... revealing the subconscious soul the bricks and pavements hid.... Its potential self had blossomed into loveliness and wonder”

Blackwood, Algernon. “The Bright Messenger.”

The necessary changes having been made, a telescope is brought to the eyes the wrong way round so the immediate surroundings appear far away as though one has suddenly been elevated-except for the feet that are still firm on the ground, immensely heavy yet moved by a gentle breeze the body maneuvers slowly but surely like a razorblade through cookie batter
