“When the few leaves left on this young oak were brown, and rustled in the frosty night, the massy shoulder of Orion came heaving up through it - first one bright star, then another; then the gleaming girdle, and the less definite scabbard; then the great constellation stretched across the east. At the first sight of Orion's shoulder Bevis always felt suddenly stronger, as if a breath of the mighty hunter had come down and entered into him.”

“Opposite the bed is a cabinet built in to the wall, taking the whole length of it. It has a painted clock face on the front, with constellations instead of numbers. The arms of the clock are pointed toward a configuration of stars prophesying a particularly amorous lover. Inside, it appears merely a wardrobe overstuffed with Cardan's clothes. I pull them out, letting them fall to the floor in a pile of velvet cuffs, satin, and leather. From the bed, Cardan makes a sound of mock distress.”

“Poezjo! Jakie twoje imię? Tworząca? Cóż ty tworzysz? Siebie. Krzesiwem jesteś — ogniem — dymem — Żniwem się złocisz w samym siewie. Sypiesz się w ciemność gwiazdospadem, Więc biegnę w noc na gwiazdobranie. Nie ma ich. Tylko mi zostanie Świetlisty w oczach ślad — spadanie: Ty gwiazdą jesteś i jej śladem. O, czaro, która sama przez się Już winem jest i upojeniem, I pieśnią pijaną jednocześnie, A potem samą sobą we śnie, A potem —o tym śnie wspomnieniem, Podnoszę cię, kielichu tajny, Ogniu, gwiazd siewie urodzajny, Ty, któryś cel jest i przyczyna, Ty, pierwszość oraz ostateczność! I winem pijąc zdrowie wina, Tobą wysławiam twoją wieczność.”
