They perish from hunger and from the claws of the wild beasts which roam the Forest. But our Councils say that this is only a legend. We have heard that there are many Uncharted Forests over the land, among the Cities. THEY PERISH FROM HUNGER AND FROM THE CLAWS OF THE WILD BEASTS THAT ROAM THE FOREST BUT OUR COUNCILS SAY THIS IS ONLY A LEGEND WE HAVE HEARD THAT THERE ARE MANY UNCHARTED FORESTS OVER THE LANDS AMONG THE CITIES
the candles, our brothers are silent, for they dare not speak the thoughts of their minds. For all must agree with all, and they cannot know if their thoughts are the thoughts of all, and so they fear to speak. And they are glad when the candles are blown for the night. But we, Equality 7-2521, look through the window upon the sky, and there is peace in the sky, and cleanliness, and dignity. And beyond the City there lies the plain, and beyond the plain, black upon the black sky, there lies the Uncharted Forest. We do not wish to look upon the Uncharted Forest. We do not wish to think of it. But ever do our eyes return to that black patch upon the sky. Men never enter the Uncharted Forest, for there is no power to explore it and no path to lead among its ancient trees which stand as guards of fearful secrets. It is whispered that once or twice in a hundred years, one among the men of the City escape alone and run to the Uncharted Forest, without call or reason. These men do not return. THE DIM LIGHT OF CANDLES OUR BROTHERS ARE SILENT FOR THEY DARE NOT SPEAK THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR MINDS FOR ALL MUST AGREE WITH ALL AND THEY CANNOT KNOW IF THEIR THOUGHTS ARE THE THOUGHTS OF ALL SO THEY FEAR TO SPEAK AND THEY ARE GLAD WHEN THE CANDLES ARE BLOWN FOR THE NIGHT AND WE EQUALITY SEVEN TO FIVE TO ONE LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW UPON THE SKY AND THERE IS PEACE IN THE SKY AND CLEANLINESS AND DIGNITY AND BEYOND THE CITY THERE LIES THE PLAIN AND BEYOND THE PLAIN BLACK UPON THE BLACK SKY THERE LIES THE UNCHARTED FOREST WE DO NOT WISH TO LOOK UPON THE UNCHARTED FOREST WE DO NOT WISH TO THINK OF IT BUT EVER DO OUR EYES RETURN TO THAT BLACK PATCH UPON THE SKY MEN NEVER ENTER THE UNCHARTED FOREST FOR THERE IS NO POWER TO EXPLORE IT AND NO PATH TO LEAD AMONG ITS ANCIENT TREES WHICH STANDS AS GUARDS OF FEARFUL SECRETS IT IS WHISPERED THAT ONCE OR TWICE IN A HUNDRED YEARS ONE AMONG THE MEN OF THE CITY ESCAPE ALONE AND RUN INTO THE UNCHARTED FOREST WITHOUT CALL OR REASON THESE MEN DO NOT RETURN
