We cannot understand this new life which we have found, yet it seems so clear and so simple. When questions come to puzzle us, we walk faster, then turn and forget all things as we watch the Golden One following. WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS NEW LIFE WHICH WE HAVE FOUND YET IT SEEMS SO CLEAR AND SO SIMPLE WHEN QUESTIONS COME TO PUZZLE US WE WALK FASTER THEN TURN AND FORGET ALL THINGS AS WE WATCH THE GOLDEN ONE FOLLOWING
 is neither ugly nor shameful, but the one ecstasy granted to the race of men. We have walked for many days. The forest has no end, and we seek no end. But each day added to the chain of days between us and the City is like an added blessing. We have made a bow and many arrows. We can kill more birds than we need for our food; we find water and fruit in the forest. At night, we choose a clearing, and we build a ring of fires around it. We sleep in the midst of that ring, and the beasts dare not attack us. We can see their eyes, green and yellow as coals, watching us from the tree branches beyond. The fires smoulder as a crown of jewels around us, and smoke stands still in the air, in columns made blue by the moonlight. We sleep together in the midst of the ring, the arms of the Golden One around us, their head upon our breast. Some day, we shall stop and build a house, when we shall have gone far enough. But we do not have to hasten. The days before us are without end, like the forest. E BODY OF A WOMAN IN OUR ARMS IS NEITHER UGLY NOR SHAMEFUL BUT THE ONE ECSTASY GRANTED TO THE RACE OF MEN WE HAVE WALKED FOR MANY DAYS THE FOREST HAS NO END AND WE SEEK NO END BUT EACH DAY ADDED TO THE CHAIN OF DAYS BETWEEN US AND THE CITY IS LIKE AN ADDED BLESSING WE HAVE MADE A BOW AND MANY ARROWS WE CAN KILL MORE BIRDS THAN WE NEED FOR OUR FOOD WE FIND WATER AND FRUIT IN THE FOREST AT NIGHT WE CHOOSE A CLEARING AND WE BUILD A RING OF FIRES AROUND IT WE SLEEP IN THE MIDST OF THAT RING AND THE BEASTS DARE NOT ATTACK US WE CAN SEE THEIR EYES GREEN AND YELLOW AS COALS WATCHING US FROM THE TREE BRANCHES BEYOND THE FIRES SMOULDER AS A CROWN OF JEWELS AROUND US AND SMOKE STANDS STILL IN THE AIR IN COLUMNS MADE BLUE BY THE MOONLIGHT WE SLEEP TOGETHER IN THE MIDST OF THE RING THE ARMS OF THE GOLDEN ONE AROUND US THEIR HEAD UPON OUR BREAST SOME DAY WE SHALL STOP AND BUILD A HOUSE WHEN WE SHALL HAVE GONE FAR ENOUGH BUT WE DO NOT HAVE TO HASTEN THE DAYS BEFORE US ARE WITHOUT END LIKE THE FOREST
