The hologram of Liannathan of Chereion to Dominic Flandry:
"'I told you, knowing what darkness you must dwell in, for mercy's sake we will leave your thoughts alone unless you compel us.'"
-A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, XX, p. 597.
One planetary angel to another, discussing Elwin Ransom, a human being:
"'...in his best thoughts there are such things mingled as, if we thought them, our light would perish.'"
-CS Lewis, Perelandra IN Lewis, The Cosmic Trilogy (London, 1990), pp. 145-348 AT 16, p. 322.
But Ransom "'...is in the body of Maleldil...,'" (Lewis, ibid.) a Solar way of saying something that we express differently here.
Human thoughts are both light and darkness.

Kaor, Paul!
I remember that hologram of "Liannathan," and what I recalled was Flandry soon not being quite CONVINCED it was a real person he spoke to. AT least, not one still ALIVE.
Ad astra! Sean
