Description summary:
The first part of the description is based on Ealing Gardens: Darkness. The second part of the description is based on Colour at the Chessboard.
Darkness | First part of description |
---|---|
0 | The light in Ealing Gardens is almost overpowering. In places it feels more like the Surface – or at least like Parabola. |
1 | The light in Ealing Garden would rival the lights of Veilgarden. The streets are well-lit, and the buildings gleam. |
2 | Ealing Gardens is reasonably lit for a human space – not as bright as the centre of London, perhaps, but bright enough that one can see a friend approaching. |
3 | There's gaslight, and the lights in the windows. There's the occasional fire. There are the False-stars. |
4 | There's gaslight. There's the occasional fire. There are the False-stars. |
5 | There's the occasional fire. There are the False-stars. |
6-7 | Ealing Gardens is dimly lit, nowhere near the brilliance of London. The shadows are impenetrable, and it is hard to see anything in the distance. |
Colour at the Chessboard | Second part of description |
---|---|
Red | But perhaps a different luminosity would better suit your plans. |
Black | It is all needlessly, wantonly bright. |
