"The wind seems to be blowing cross-wise to the light incoming from Sirius,
producing false images, as if, in Bradley's Metaphor for the Aberration, the
Vehicle, Wind, has broken thro' some Barrier, and enter'd the no-nonsense regime
of the Tenor, Light, whilst remaining attach'd to it. As supernatural as a
Visitant from the Regime of Death to the sunny Colony of Life, - to be
metaphorickal about it ...." (Mason & Dixon, p. 173)
That's really uncanny! The whole issue pushes me to a certain feeling of
'metaphysical' uneasiness ...
