SENSE FROM THOUGHT DIVIDE
BY MARK CLIFTON

Illustrated by van Dongen
"Remembrance and reflection, how allied; What thin partitions sense from thought divide."
Pope

The Swami's back was toward me, and on it hung flowing folds of a black cloak. His turban was white, except where it had rubbed against the back of his neck.
"A tall, dark, and handsome man will soon come into your life," he was intoning in that sepulchral voice men habitually use in their dealings with the absolute.
