"Higher than the clouds—immeasurably higher—flocks of transparent,
shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamerlike lines
behind them...
A sound, huge and booming like a glorious chant, came down from above,
and I wondered if the winged beings were producing it. Again, thinking
about it later, it occurred to me that the joy of these creatures, as
they soared along, was such that they had to make this noise—that if the
joy didn’t come out of them this way then they would simply not
otherwise be able to contain it."
