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. 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
 three little kingdoms. Then, looking long upon the wandering ships, and the marvelous merchandise from alien lands, and the unknown colour that wreathed the brows of the Sea, he turned his face to the darkness and the Inner Lands. At that moment 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. GONE NO FARTHER THAN THE THREE LITTLE KINGDOMS THEN LOOKING LONG UPON THE WANDERING SHIPS AND THE MARVELLOUS MERCHANDISE FROM ALIEN LANDS AND THE UNKNOWN COLOR THAT WREATHED THE BROWS OF THE SEA HE TURNED HIS FACE TO THE DARKNESS AND THE INNER 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
