"Many gods there be, that through the dusk of an evening in the summer go up and down this river. There I saw, in a high barque all of gold, gods of the pomp of cities; there I saw gods of splendour, in boats bejewelled to the keels; gods of magnificence and gods of power. MANY GODS THERE BE THAT THROUGH THE DUSK OF AN EVENING IN THE SUMMER GO UP AND DOWN THIS RIVER THERE I SAW IN A HIGH BARK ALL OF GOLD GODS OF THE POMP OF CITIES THERE I SAW GODS OF SPLENDOUR IN BOATS BEJUELLED TO THE KEELS GODS OF MAGNIFICENCE AND GODS OF POWER
ships seemed still to ring. X Then Mohontis spake, the hermit prophet, who lived in the deep untravelled woods that seclude Lake Ilana. “I dreamed that to the west of all the seas I saw by vision the mouth of Munra-O, guarded by golden gates, and through the bars of the gates that guard the mysterious river of Munra-O I saw the flashes of golden barques, wherein the gods went up and down, and to and fro through the evening dusk. And I saw that Munra-O was a river of dreams such as came through remembered gardens in the night, to charm our infancy as we slept beneath the sloping gables of the houses of long ago. And Munra-O rolled down her dreams from the unknown inner land and slid them under the golden gates and out into the waste, unheeding sea, till they beat far off upon low-lying shores and murmured songs of long ago to the islands of the south, or shouted tumultuous paeans to the Northern crags; or cried forlornly against rocks where no one came, dreams that might not be dreamed.
