All the familiar worlds of the inner system lay far behind.

But the mist had completely risen now, and my new world lay ahead of me.

The moon had gone down and the world lay in the starlight.

The real worlds lay, would always lie, a million miles out of their reach.

A new world lay below us with the coming of the new day.

There was always that possibility, and no way of knowing what world lay beyond this one.

But who could sleep, anyway, knowing that the world of the early fifth century lay just beyond the door?

He knew that a great world lay across the waters far to the north of his capital.

But now the doomed worlds lay less than a billion miles ahead.

A few late cars drifted by both ways, but for the most part the world lay in the cold silence of early morning.
