Note
First line:
As the striking of noon on a certain fifth of March, there occurred within a causal radious of Brandon railway-station and yet beyond the deepest pools of emptiness between the uttermost stellar systems one of those infinitesimal ripples in the creative silence of the First Cause which always occur when an exceptional stir of heightened consciousness agitates any living oraganism in this astronomical universe.
The author was a descendant of the the poet William Cowper.
The author's father was vicar at Montacute, Somerset for 32 years.
