And what mean youby saying that I am no longer the Perfection of all Beauty? I. My Lord, your own wisdom has taught me to aspire to One even moregreat, more beautiful, and more closely approximate to Perfection thanyourself. As you yourself, superior to all Flatland forms, combinemany Circles in One, so doubtless there is One above you who combinesmany Spheres in One Supreme Existence, surpassing even the Solids ofSpaceland. And even as we, who are now in Space, look down on Flatlandand see the... insides of all things, so of a certainty there is yet aboveus some higher, purer region, whither thou dost surely purpose to leadme--O Thou Whom I shall always call, everywhere and in all Dimensions, my Priest, Philosopher, and Friend--some yet more spacious Space, somemore dimensionable Dimensionality, from the vantage-ground of which weshall look down together upon the revealed insides of Solid things, andwhere thine own intestines, and those of thy kindred Spheres, will lieexposed to the view of the poor wandering exile from Flatland, to whomso much has already been vouchsafed.
