I hastened to the aperture, and under the crustations of coral,
covered with fungi, I recognised certain debris that the drags had
not been able to tear up--iron stirrups, anchors, cannons, bullets,

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Seraphita by Honore de Balzac: lower worlds from their knowledge, held them in its folds, bore them

Spiritual, and Divine-derived their Motion.

celestial regions which communicated with the flaming and quenchless
MOTOR OF ALL THAT IS.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: shown in the accompanying figures.
Military and Scientific Activities
All participants in Project TRINITY, both military and civilian, were
under the authority of the MED. No military exercises were conducted.
The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL), which was staffed and
administered by the University of California (under contract to the
MED), conducted diagnostic experiments. Civilian and military
scientists and technicians, with assistance from other military
personnel, placed gauges, detectors, and other instruments around
ground zero before the detonation. Four offsite monitoring posts were
established in the towns of Nogal, Roswell, Socorro, and Fort Sumner,
