“It was as the clarity of the light reached perfection that he saw Peggy. She was standing before him, not 20 yards away. She wore the dress she had worn on the day they had first met. She was just as beautiful, and not a day older. She smiled straight into his eyes, and stretched out her arms to him in a gesture of welcome. ‘Peggy, my dear,’ Arthur Creighton said to her. ‘What a surprise. What a wonderful surprise.’ He stretched out his own arms in response, and walked joyfully towards her.”
― Peter Murphy, A Higher Duty
