from Beldover to meet the corrupt new houses from Lethley; the
houses of Lethley advancing to mix with the houses of Hainor; a
dry; brittle; terrible corruption spreading over the face of the
land; and she was sick with a nausea so deep that she perished
as she sat。 And then; in the blowing clouds; she saw a band of
faint iridescence colouring in faint colours a portion of the
hill。 And forgetting; startled; she looked for the hovering
colour and saw a rainbow forming itself。 In one place it gleamed
fiercely; and; her heart anguished with hope; she sought the
shadow of iris where the bow should be。 Steadily the colour
gathered; mysteriously; from nowhere; it took presence upon
itself; there was a faint; vast rainbow。 The arc bended and
strengthened itself till it arched indomitable; making great
architecture of light and colour and the space of heaven; its
pedestals luminous in the corruption of new houses on the low
hill; its arch the top of heaven。
And the rainbow stood on the earth。 She knew that the sordid
people who crept hard…scaled and separate on the face of the
worlds corruption were living still; that the rainbow was
arched in their blood and would quiver to life in their spirit;
that they would cast off their horny covering of disintegration;
that new; clean; naked bodies would issue to a new germination;
to a new growth; rising to the light and the wind and the clean
rain of heaven。 She saw in the rainbow the earths new
architecture; the old; brittle corruption of houses and
factories swept away; the world built up in a living fabric of
Truth; fitting to the over…arching heaven。
