Long he stood thus, while the stars came out above him and shone again in the surges; more stars came wheeling in their courses up from the Sea, lights twinkled out through all the haven city, lanterns were slung from the ships, the purple night burned on; and Earth, to the eyes of the gods as they sat afar, glowed as with one flame. LONG HE STOOD THUS WHILE THE STARS CAME OUT ABOVE HIM AND SHONE AGAIN IN THE SURGES MORE STARS CAME WHEELING IN THEIR COURSES UP FROM THE SEA LIGHTS TWINKLED OUT THROUGH ALL THE HAVEN CITY LANTERNS WERE SLUNG FROM THE SHIPS THE PURPLE NIGHT BURNED ON AND EARTH TO THE EYES OF THE GODS AS THEY SET AFAR GLOWED AS WITH ONE FLAME
ent the Sea sang a dirge at sunset for all the harm that he had done in anger and all the ruin wrought on adventurous ships; and there were tears in the voice of the tyrannous Sea, for he had loved the galleons that he had overwhelmed, and he called all men to him and all living things that he might make amends, because he had loved the bones that he had strewn afar. And Athelvok turned and set one foot upon the crumbled slope, and then another, and walked a little way to be nearer to the Sea, and then a dream came upon him and he felt that men had wronged the lovely Sea because he had been angry a little, because he had been sometimes cruel; he felt that there was trouble among the tides of the Sea because he had loved the galleons who were dead. Still he walked on and the crumbled stones rolled with him, and just as the twilight faded and a star appeared he came to the golden shore, and walked on till the surges were about his knees, and he heard the prayer-like blessings of the Sea. NNER LANDS AT THAT MOMENT THE SEA SANG A DIRGE AT SUNSET FOR ALL THE HARM THAT HE HAD DONE AT ANCHOR AND ALL THE RUIN WROUGHT ON ADVENTUROUS SHIPS AND THERE WERE TEARS IN THE VOICE OF THE TYRNOUS SEA FOR HE HAD LOVED THE GALLEONS THAT HE HAD OVERWHELMED AND HE CALLED ALL MEN TO HIM AND ALL LIVING THINGS THAT HE MIGHT MAKE AMENDS BECAUSE HE HAD LOVED THE BONES THAT HE HAD STREWN AFAR AND ATELVOC TURNED AND SET ONE FOOT UPON THE CRUMBLED SLOPE AND THEN ANOTHER AND WALKED A LITTLE WAY TO BE NEARER TO THE SEA AND THEN A DREAM CAME UPON HIM AND HE FELT THAT MEN HAD WRONGED THE LOVELY SEA BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN ANGRY A LITTLE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN SOMETIMES CRUEL HE FELT THERE WAS TROUBLE AMONG THE TIDES OF THE SEA BECAUSE HE HAD LOVED THE GALLEONS WHO WERE DEAD STILL HE WALKED ON AND THE CRUMBLED STONES ROLLED WITH HIM AND JUST AS THE TWILIGHT FADED AND A STAR APPEARED HE CAME TO THE GOLDEN SHORE AND WALKED ON TILL THE SURGES WERE ABOUT HIS KNEES AND HE HEARD THE PRAYER LIKE BLESSINGS OF THE SEA
