The Green Flash - A talk by Mike Frost
The Green Flash or Green Ray is a fleeting and beautiful phenomenon which
has inspired the imagination of story-tellers from ancient Egypt to the
present day. Meet the nerdish Aristobulos, hero of Jules Verne's "Le Rayon
Vert", and David Abden, roguish hero of Winston Graham's "The Green Flash",
as they try to explain the mysteries of the setting sun.
"... this ray has the virtue of making him who has seen it impossible
to be deceived in matters of sentiment; at its appearence all deceit and
falsehood are done away, and he who has been fortunate enough once to behold
it is enabled to see closely into his own heart and read the thoughts of
others..." (Jules Verne)
