There is a fairy story that I read many, many
years ago that has never ceased to haunt me. It told how a little boy
once climbed a rainbow. And at the end of the rainbow, just behind the
clouds, he found a wondrous city. Its houses were of gold, and its
streets were paved with silver, and the light that shone upon it was as
the light that lies upon the sleeping world at dawn. In this city there
were palaces so beautiful that merely to look upon them satisfied all
desires; temples so perfect that they who once knelt therein were
cleansed of sin. And all the men who dwelt in this wondrous city were
great and good, and the women fairer than the women of a young man's
dreams. And the name of the city was, "The city of the things men meant
to do."
