Summary

This quote seems to describe a state of perfection that is devoid of any life or vitality. The words "faultily faultless" suggest that even though it appears flawless, there is something inherently flawed about it. The phrase "icily regular" conveys a sense of rigid and cold uniformity, lacking any feeling or warmth. The term "splendidly null" implies that despite its grand appearance, there is a complete emptiness or nothingness to it.
