This is Hypselodoris obscura, whose evocation of "the antartick oriency of a western aurore or acronick rising of the most radiant constellation of the firmament" may well lead to "the ineffable extasie of an overmastered apprehension," and induce a state of swoon "without the appearance of any other life than what by the most refined wits of theological speculators is conceived to be exercised by the purest parts of the separated entelechies of blessed saints in their sublimest conversations with the celestial hierarchies."
So watch your step.
