The Orchard of Tears is a Fiction Romance Story Book. It says that "The knowledge which is yours is innate knowledge beyond human power to acquire in one short span of life;" said Jules Thessaly, "it is the result of many lives devoted to study. For the task you are about to take up you have been preparing since the world was young. All is ordained, even your presence in this room tonight -- and mine. Where last did we meet -- where first? Perhaps in Rome, perhaps Atlantis; but assuredly we met and we meet again to fulfill a compact made in the dawn of time. I, too, am a student of the recondite, and it may be that some of the fragments of truth which I have collected will help you to force recognition of the light from a world plunged in darkness". "In utter darkness", murmured Paul. Thessaly advanced, leaning forward across the table. "Tonight, a new Star is born in the West -- and an hour will come when the eyes of all men must be raised to it".
