# Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Carazan., sentence 13

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
At the same moment I felt myself lifted from the ground, and transported with astonishing rapidity through the regions of the air.—The earth was contracted to an atom beneath; and the stars glowed round me with a lustre that obscured the sun. The gate of Paradise was new in sight; and I was intercepted by a sudden brightness which no human eye could behold: the irrevocable sentence was now to be pronounced; my day of probation was past: and from the evil of my life nothing could be taken away, nor could any thing be added to the good.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, myself, stars, lustre, sun., sudden brightness · **What happens:** feel, lift, transport, astonish, contract, glow · **To what, where:** myself, ground, rapidity, regions, earth, sight
