Finality
Excerpt from Finality
The scene is a parapet on the ramparts of a castle. The background is the bare wall of the castle. Outside the walls nothing meets the eye but a few nebulous clouds floating in illimitable space.
The impression on the beholder is that this is the summit of the world. The parapet appears a mere niche in a wall so massive and so lofty as to suggest supernatural architecture.
Pacing back and forth on the parapet is a solitary figure, stately and powerful, with military garb and bearing. Nothing occurs for a time, but the vigilance of the sentinal is not relaxed, nor his martial attitude.
Suddenly a cloaked figure appears, Standing on a cloud. This effect is produced by the rolling away of other clouds revealing this one to the sight. The sentry halts and faces the apparition.
