Strange are the ways of evil. We are false in the faces of our brothers. We are defying the will of our Councils. We alone, of the thousands who walk this earth, we alone in this hour are doing a work which has no purpose save that we wish to do it. STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF EVIL WE ARE FALSE IN THE FACES OF OUR BROTHERS WE ARE DEFYING THE WILL OF OUR COUNSELS WE ALONE OF THE THOUSANDS WHO WALK THE EARTH WE ALONE IN THIS HOUR ARE DOING A WORK WHICH HAS NO PURPOSE SAVE THAT WE WISH TO DO IT
e flickers in the oven and blue shadows dance upon the walls, and there is no sound of men to disturb us. We have stolen manuscripts. This is a great offense. Manuscripts are precious, for our brothers in the Home of the Clerks spend one year to copy one single script in their clear handwriting. Manuscripts are rare and they are kept in the Home of the Scholars. So we sit under the earth and we read the stolen scripts. Two years have passed since we found this place. And in these two years we have learned more than we had learned in the ten years of the Home of the Students. We have learned things which are not in the scripts. We have solved secrets of which the Scholars have no knowledge. We have come to see how great is the unexplored, and many lifetimes will not bring us to the end of our quest. But we wish no end to our quest. We wish nothing, save to be alone and to learn, and to feel as if with each day our sight were growing sharper than the hawk’s and clearer than rock crystal.  THE WOOD WE FIND IN THE RAVINE THE FIRE FLICKERS IN THE OVEN AND THE BLUE SHADOWS DANCE UPON THE WALLS AND THERE IS NO SOUND OF MEN TO DISTURB US WE HAVE STOLEN MANUSCRIPTS THIS IS A GREAT OFFENCE MANUSCRIPTS ARE PRECIOUS FOR OUR BROTHERS IN THE HOME OF THE CLERKS SPEND ONE YEAR TO COPY ONE SINGLE SCRIPT IN THEIR CLEAR HANDWRITING MANUSCRIPTS ARE RARE AND THEY ARE KEPT IN THE HOME OF THE SCHOLARS SO WE SIT UNDER THE EARTH AND WE READ THE STOLEN SCRIPTS TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE WE FOUND THIS PLACE AND IN THESE TWO YEARS WE HAVE LEARNED MORE THAN WE HAD LEARNED IN THE TEN YEARS AT THE HOME OF THE STUDENTS WE HAVE LEARNED THINGS WHICH ARE NOT IN THE SCRIPTS WE HAVE SOLVED SECRETS OF WHICH THE SCHOLARS HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE COME TO SEE HOW GREAT IS THE UNEXPLORED AND HOW MANY LIFETIMES WILL NOT BRING US TO THE END OF OUR QUEST WE WISH NOTHING SAVE TO BE ALONE AND TO LEARN AND TO FEEL AS IF WITH EACH DAY OUR SIGHT WERE GROWING SHARPER THAN THE HAWKS AND CLEARER THAN THE ROCK CRYSTAL
