"Robert F. Young - St Julie and the Visgi" - читать интересную книгу автора (Young Robert F)

"Only on Visge soil could a tree grow like that."
"Truly the ways of the Prime Motivator are inscrutable!"
For Visge soil was Visge soil, no matter where it happened to be, and whatever grew on Visge soil
automatically became native to Visge. The Prime Motivator's ways were devious, but they were beyond
questioning by mortals, even Visgi mortals. If He had chosen such an indirect method of bringing trees to
the Model, there was undoubtedly a sound motivation behind his reasoning. Henceforth, trees would be
planted on Visge and be permitted to grow throughout the remainder of the cosmos.
The governor's entourage could contain themselves no longer. They edged around the governor and
the local administrator, jostling each other in their eagerness to see the first Visge maple. But the governor
did not reprimand them. The governor was staring at Julie. His face was no longer awesome—it was
filled with awe instead. For it had occurred to him that he was standing face to face with the first Visge
saint.
