A complete and self-contained work, this book is also a prehistory of the events described in the novel “Ice,” published two years earlier.

“Time on Earth is multicolored. Every object, every creature lives in its own time. In its own color.

The time of stones and mountains is dark crimson. The time of sand is purple. The time of black soil is orange. The time of rivers and lakes is apricot. The time of trees and grass is gray. The time of insects is brown. The time of fish is emerald. The time of cold-blooded animals is olive. The time of warm-blooded animals is blue. The time of meat machines is violet.

And only among us, the brothers of Light, there is no color of Earth of our own. We are colorless while the Eternal Light dwells in our hearts. For It is our time. And in this time we live. When our hearts stop and Light leaves them, we acquire color. Violet. But only for a short while: as soon as the body cools, its time turns dark yellow. The time of corpses of living beings on Earth is dark yellow.”
