Glory

A stained glass window serves as a link between two times in the story Not a Ghost of a Chance. Stained glass windows have often been credited with miracles. This has to do with the same philosophical movement that gave rise to soaring Gothic cathedrals. The brilliant light of the sun was seen as the nearest thing to heaven that we on Earth can see. In fact, looking directly at the sun for a long period will blind. This is glory. Splendor is the light hanging in the air and shining through stained glass windows and reflecting from incorruptible gold. Since gold does not oxidize, it is also considered to be a heavenly thing here on Earth that is meant to show man the splendors of Heaven.
