"This paper is based on relativity and the constant speed of light. For that, I stipulate that…"
After he skimmed through the paper, Douglas's smile was replaced by graveness. He raised his head to look at Oliver, only to discover in surprise that the pile of papers before him, including the poem, the play and the papers,had been obliterated into dust and dispersed into the air.
Failing to take over the front page of the paper in Douglas' hand, Oliver destroyed all the items on the desk in his anxiety when he tried to clean up the traces!
He was now full of regret. Due to the turmoil in his love life recently, he hadn't been himself. After he took out the paper and studied it, he forgot to put it back before he started the creation of his long poem. Later, he simply forgot everything and did nothing when he directed Douglas into his library.
