Never had we seen rooms so full of light. The sunrays danced upon colors, colors, more colors than we thought possible, we who had seen no houses save the white ones, the brown ones and the grey. NEVER HAD WE SEEN ROOMS SO FULL OF LIGHT THE SUN RAYS DANCED UPON THE COLORS COLORS AND MORE COLORS THAN WE THOUGHT POSSIBLE WE WHO HAD SEEN NO HOUSES SAVE THE WHITE ONES THE BROWN ONES AND THE GRAY
 the windows went on straight around the corners, though how this kept the house standing we could not guess. The walls were hard and smooth, of that stone unlike stone which we had seen in our tunnel. We both knew it without words: this house was left from the Unmentionable Times. The trees had protected it from time and weather, and from men who have less pity than time and weather. We turned to the Golden One and we asked: “Are you afraid?” But they shook their head. So we walked to the door, and we threw it open, and we stepped together into the house of the Unmentionable Times. We shall need the days and the years ahead, to look, to learn, and to understand the things of this house. Today, we could only look and try to believe the sight of our eyes. We pulled the heavy curtains from the windows and we saw that the rooms were small, and we thought that not more than twelve men could have lived here. We thought it strange that men had been permitted to build a house for only twelve. THAN WALL UPON ITS WALLS AND THE WINDOWS WENT ON STRAIGHT AROUND THE CORNERS THOUGH HOW THIS HOUSE KEPT STANDING WE COULD NOT GUESS THE WALLS WERE HARD AND SMOOTH OF THAT STONE UNLIKE STONE WHICH WE HAD SEEN IN OUR TUNNEL WE BOTH KNEW IT WITHOUT WORDS THIS HOUSE WAS LEFT FROM THE UNMENTIONABLE TIMES THE TREES HAD PROTECTED IT FROM TIME AND WEATHER AND FROM MEN WHO HAVE LESS PITY THAN TIME AND WEATHER WE TURNED TO THE GOLDEN ONE AND WE ASKED ARE YOU AFRAID BUT THEY SHOOK THEIR HEAD SO WE WALKED TO THE DOOR AND WE THREW IT OPEN AND WE STEPPED TOGETHER INTO THE HOUSE OF THE UNMENTIONABLE TIMES WE SHALL NEED THE DAYS AND THE YEARS AHEAD TO LOOK TO LEARN AND TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF THIS HOUSE TO DAY WE COULD ONLY LOOK AND TRY TO BELIEVE THE SIGHT OF OUR EYES WE PULLED THE HEAVY CURTAINS FROM THE WINDOWS AND WE SAW THAT THE ROOMS WERE SMALL AND WE THOUGHT THAT NOT MORE THAN TWELVE MEN COULD HAVE LIVED HERE WE THOUGHT IT STRANGE THAT MAN HAD BEEN PERMITTED TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR ONLY TWELVE
