a mighty Power, which is as darkness,
Is rising out of Earth, and from the sky
Is showered like night, and from within the air
Bursts, like eclipse which had been gathered up
Into the pores of sunlight; the bright visions,
Wherein the singing Spirits rode and shone,
Gleam like pale meteors through a watery night.
Shelly, Prometheus Unbound 510-516
A collection of texts for the roleplaying game
Eclipse Phase, by me, Anders Sandberg. Many were first posted on
the Eclipse Phase Forum and discussed there. They are creative commons like the game.
That dark planet head, spinning beyond
The rim of the night mirror’s range, huge
And cold, on the pillow’s dark side.
from The Night Mirror, by John Hollander 1971
