my veins coursed not with blood but light

“It was then that it happened. As I looked at the setting sun, I was possessed by light. What is given to few men was given to me. I saw the One. I was absorbed by Helios and my veins coursed not with blood but light.
    I saw it all. I saw the simplicity at the heart of creation.”

—Gore Vidal, Julian, 1964.
