"The lysergic wildness continues inside with an incoherent scene and the promise that "APSARAS" — is an Epic forthcoming — a marvel of the Universe— an illustrated saga of a Godwoman":
"The Free City of DEGSPA, in which rule the Enlightened One's of the Universe. They have been studying for thousands of Earth-years, the millions of solar systems. Today is the meeting of the greater council in which the friends shall be present to discuss the various problems confronting the Controllers of the Universe."
