"And now some worship God in the temple of the gods, and others worship the gods in the temple of God, and still the angel hath not returned again to the rejoicing choirs, and still the Death hath not gone back to die with the dead gods; but all through Nombros they fight up and down, and still on each side of the Flavro the city lives." AND NOW SOME WORSHIP GOD IN THE TEMPLE OF THE GODS AND OTHERS WORSHIP THE GODS IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND STILL THE ANGEL HATH NOT RETURNED AGAIN TO THE REJOICING CHOIRS AND STILL THE DEATH HATH NOT GONE BACK TO DIE WITH THE DEAD GODS BUT ALL THROUGH NOMBROS THEY FIGHT UP AND DOWN AND STILL ON EACH SIDE OF THE FLAVRO THE CITY LIVES
hurled that returneth again to the earth: but just before he touched it he lifted his head and spread his wings with the under feathers forward, and alighted by the bank of the broad Flavro that divides the city of Nombros. And down the bank of the Flavro he fluttered low, like to a hawk over a new-cut cornfield when the little creatures of the corn are shelterless, and at the same time down the other bank the Death from the gods went mowing. "At once they saw each other, and the angel glared at the Death, and the Death leered back at him, and the flames in the eyes of the angel illumined with a red glare the mist that lay in the hollows of the sockets of the Death. Suddenly they fell on one another, sword to scythe. And the angel captured the temples of the gods, and set up over them the sign of God, and the Death captured the temples of God, and led into them the ceremonies and sacrifices of the gods; and all the while the centuries slipped quietly by, going down the Flavro seawards.  SOME HUNTER HATH HURLED THAT RETURNETH AGAIN TO THE EARTH BUT JUST BEFORE HE TOUCHED IT HE LIFTED HIS HEAD AND SPREAD HIS WINGS WITH UNDER FEATHERS FORWARD AND ALIGHTED BY THE BANK OF THE BROAD FLAVRO THAT DIVIDES THE CITY OF NAMBROS AND DOWN THE BANK OF THE FLAVROE HE FLUTTERED LOW LIKE TO A HAWK OVER A NEW CUT CORNFIELD WHEN THE LITTLE CREATURES OF THE CORN ARE SHELTERLESS AND AT THE SAME TIME DOWN THE OTHER BANK THE DEATH FROM THE GODS WENT MOWING AT ONCE THEY SAW EACH OTHER AND THE ANGEL GLARED AT THE DEATH AND THE DEATH LEERED BACK AT HIM AND THE FLAMES IN THE EYES OF THE ANGEL ILLUMINED WITH A RED GLARE AT THE MIST THAT LAY IN THE HOLLOWS OF THE SOCKETS OF THE DEATH SUDDENLY THEY FELL ON ONE ANOTHER SWORD TO SCYTHE AND THE ANGEL CAPTURED THE TEMPLES OF THE GODS AND SET UP OVER THEM THE SIGN OF GOD AND THE DEATH CAPTURED THE TEMPLES OF GOD AND LED INTO THEM THE CEREMONIES AND SACRIFICES OF THE GODS AND ALL THE WHILE THE CENTURIES SLIPPED QUIETLY BY GOING DOWN THE FLAVROE SEAWARDS
