We stretch out our arms. For the first time do we know how strong our arms are. And a strange thought comes to us: we wonder, for the first time in our life, what we look like. WE STRETCH OUT OUR ARMS FOR THE FIRST TIME DO WE KNOW HOW STRONG OUR ARMS ARE AND A STRANGE THOUGHT COMES TO US WE WONDER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR LIFE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE
d we shall lay before them, as our gift, this glass box with the power of the sky. We shall confess everything to them. They will see, understand and forgive. For our gift is greater than our transgression. They will explain it to the Council of Vocations, and we shall be assigned to the Home of the Scholars. This has never been done before, but neither has a gift such as ours ever been offered to men. We must wait. We must guard our tunnel as we had never guarded it before. For should any men save the Scholars learn of our secret, they would not understand it, nor would they believe us. They would see nothing, save our crime of working alone, and they would destroy us and our light. We care not about our body, but our light is... Yes, we do care. For the first time do we care about our body. For this wire is as a part of our body, as a vein torn from us, glowing with our blood. Are we proud of this thread of metal, or of our hands which made it, or is there a line to divide these two? ARTH WE SHALL GO TO THIS COUNCIL AND WE SHALL LAY BEFORE THEM AS OUR GIFT THE GLASS BOX WITH THE POWER OF THE SKY WE SHALL CONFESS EVERYTHING TO THEM THEY WILL SEE UNDERSTAND AND FORGIVE FOR OUR GIFT IS GREATER THAN OUR TRANSGRESSION THEY WILL EXPLAIN IT TO THE COUNCIL OF VOCATIONS AND WE SHALL BE ASSIGNED TO THE HOME OF THE SCHOLARS THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE BUT NEITHER HAS A GIFT SUCH AS OURS EVER BEEN OFFERED TO MEN WE MUST WAIT WE MUST GUARD OUR TUNNEL AS WE HAVE NEVER GUARDED IT BEFORE FOR SHOULD ANY MEN SAVE THE SCHOLARS LEARN OF OUR SECRET THEY WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT NOR WOULD THEY BELIEVE US THEY WOULD SEE NOTHING SAVE OUR CRIME OF WORKING ALONE AND THEY WOULD DESTROY US AND OUR LIGHT WE CARE NOT ABOUT OUR BODY BUT OUR LIGHT IS YES WE DO CARE FOR THE FIRST TIME WE DO CARE ABOUT OUR BODY FOR THIS WIRE IS A PART OF OUR BODY AS A VEIN TORN FROM US GLOWING WITH OUR BLOOD WE ARE PROUD OF THIS THREAD OF METAL OR OF OUR HANDS WHICH MADE IT OR IS THERE A LINE TO DIVIDE THESE TWO
