We looked into each other's eyes and we knew that the breath of a miracle had touched us, and fled, and left us groping vainly. WE LOOKED INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES AND WE KNEW THAT THE BREATH OF A MIRACLE HAD TOUCHED US AND FLED AND LEFT US GROPING VAINLY
others. But we lived not, when we toiled for our brothers, we were only weary. There is no joy for men, save the joy shared with all their brothers. But the only things which taught us joy were the power we created in our wires, and the Golden One. And both these joys belong to us alone, they come from us alone, they bear no relation to all our brothers, and they do not concern our brothers in any way. Thus do we wonder. There is some error, one frightful error, in the thinking of men. What is that error? We do not know, but the knowledge struggles within us, struggles to be born. Today, the Golden One stopped suddenly and said: “We love you.” But they frowned and shook their head and looked at us helplessly. “No,” they whispered, “that is not what we wished to say.” They were silent, then they spoke slowly, and their words were halting, like the words of a child learning to speak for the first time: “We are one... alone... and only... and we love you who are one... alone... and only.” IFE FOR MEN SAVE IN USEFUL TOIL FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR BROTHERS BUT WE LIVED NOT WHEN WE TOILED FOR OUR BROTHERS WE WERE ONLY WEARY THERE IS NO JOY FOR MEN SAVE THE JOY SHARED WITH ALL THEIR BROTHERS BUT THE ONLY THINGS WHICH TAUGHT US JOY WERE THE POWER CREATED IN OUR WIRES AND THE GOLDEN ONE AND BOTH THESE JOYS BELONGED TO US ALONE THEY CAME FROM US ALONE THEY BEAR NO RELATION TO OUR BROTHERS AND THEY DO NOT CONCERN OUR BROTHERS IN ANY WAY THUS DO WE WONDER THERE IS SOME ERROR ONE FRIGHTFUL ERROR IN THE THINKING OF MEN WHAT IS THAT ERROR WE DO NOT KNOW BUT THE KNOWLEDGE STRUGGLES WITHIN US STRUGGLES TO BE BORN TO DAY THE GOLDEN ONE STOPPED SUDDENLY AND SAID WE LOVE YOU BUT THEN THEY FROWNED AND SHOOK THEIR HEAD AND LOOKED AT US HELPLESSLY NO THEY WHISPERED THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WISH TO SAY THEY WERE SILENT THEN THEY SPOKE SLOWLY AND THEIR WORDS WERE HALTING LIKE THE WORDS OF A CHILD LEARNING TO SPEAK FOR THE FIRST TIME WE ARE ONE ALONE AND ONLY AND WE LOVE YOU WHO ARE ONE ALONE AND ONLY
