The First Men in the Moon Chapter 5 - The Journey to the Moon

from The H. G. Wells Library · host H. G. Wells

In which the traveller and his companion embark upon their luminous journey through the void, observing the moon's stark and silent surface beneath their feet as they contemplate the nature of life and the heavens, marvelling at the splendour of a starlit sky unshadowed by atmosphere. They find themselves enveloped in a curious drowsiness, their earthly habits of appetite and waking suspended, while the earth hangs distant and strange beyond their swift and silent passage.
