The Radiance

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people 
laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I 
remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the 
Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that
 he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his 
multi-armed form, and says, 'Now I am become Death, the 
destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one 
way or another."
