Additional quotes by Karen Blixen
When later in life they thought of this evening it never occurred to any of them that they might have been exalted by their own merit.

The vain illusions of this earth had dissolved before their eyes like smoke, and they had seen the universe as it really is. They had been given one hour of the millennium.
