out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all. This feeling
was very strong upon me that night. Here was another side to my
dream.”
― The War of the Worlds

The face one shows him he invariably reflects back at one, creating the illusion of warmth and depth when in fact he is brittle and shallow as a mirror.”
