Radiant With Light

"You know what I would do if I were in your place? I'd ask for all or nothing; I'd insist on immensity...I'd work up a magnificient hunger, an enormous thirst, and I'd race through the drunken spaces between the spheres, singing the fearsome drinking song of eternity, joyous, radiant, sublime, hands full of bunches of grapes made of stars and my face purple with suns! I wouldn't leave a star unturned, and at the end of the banquet I'd pass out beneath the table of the heaven's radiant with light!"

~ Victor Hugo
