Sdom of the ancients. this love is introduced without any parent at all; only, that some say he was an egg of night. and himself out of chaos begot all things, the gods included. the attributes which are assigned to him are in number four: he is always an infant; he is blind; he is naked; he is an archer. there was also another love, the youngest of all the gods, son of venus, to whom the attributes of the elder are transferred, and whom in a way they suit. bacon’s purpose is to explain what chaos is. love is. night is. venus is.

Love is.

We know that what he is describing is said to be "an egg of Night...out of Chaos" and "son of Venus". This then eliminates all of these options. We also know it is Love because he says "There was also another Love". In order for there to be "another" there needs to be an initial one. Also, it says Love "is always an infant; he is blind; he is naked; he is an archer". These traits could all be used to describe Cupid, who is Love.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
