There _is_ a real world, but it is beyond this glamour and this vision, beyond these 'chases in Arras, dreams in a career,' beyond them all as beyond a veil. I do not know whether any human being has ever lifted that veil; but I do know, Clarke, that you and I shall see it lifted this very night from before another's eyes. THERE IS A REAL WORLD BUT IT IS BEYOND THIS GLAMOUR AND THIS VISION BEYOND THESE CHASES IN ARRAS DREAMS IN A CAREER BEYOND THEM ALL AS BEYOND A VEIL I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER ANY HUMAN BEING HAS EVER LIFTED THAT VEIL BUT I DO KNOW CLARKE THAT YOU AND I SHALL SEE IT LIFTED THIS VERY NIGHT FROM BEFORE ANOTHER'S EYES

You see me standing here beside you, and hear my voice; but I tell you that all these things—yes, from that star that has just shone out in the sky to the solid ground beneath our feet—I say that all these are but dreams and shadows; the shadows that hide the real world from our eyes.
