Never, not in the memory of the Ancient Ones' Ancients, never have men done that which we are doing. And yet there is no shame in us and no regret. We say to ourselves that we are a wretch and a traitor. NEVER NOT IN THE MEMORY OF THE ANCIENT ONES ANCIENTS NEVER HAVE MEN DONE WHAT WE ARE DOING AND YET THERE IS NO SHAME IN US AND NO REGRET WE SAY TO OURSELVES THAT WE ARE A WRETCH AND A TRAITOR
 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. 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. The evil of our crime is not for the human mind to probe. The nature of our punishment, if it be discovered, is not for the human heart to ponder.  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 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 THE EVIL OF OUR CRIME IS NOT FOR THE HUMAN MIND TO PROBE THE NATURE OF OUR PUNISHMENT IF IT BE DISCOVERED IS NOT FREE FOR THE HUMAN HEART TO PONDER
