"But at last thou shalt come with the prayers of men to the great Hall of the gods where the chairs of the gods are carved of onyx grouped round the golden throne of the eldest of the gods. BUT AT LAST THOU SHALT COME WITH THE PRAYERS OF MEN TO THE GREAT HALL OF THE GODS WHERE THE CHAIRS OF THE GODS ARE CARVED OF ONYX GROUPED ROUND THE GOLDEN THRONE OF THE ELDEST OF THE GODS
rs. Down this river and across this sea thou shalt fare in a ship of sighs and all around thee over the sea shall fly the prayers of men which rise on white wings higher than their sorrows. Sometimes perched in the rigging, sometimes crying around thee, shall go the prayers that availed not to stay thee in Zarkandhu. Far over the waters, and on the wings of the prayers beats the light of an inaccessible star. No hand hath touched it, none hath journeyed to it, it hath no substance, it is only a light, it is the star of Hope, and it shines far over the sea and brightens the world. It is nought but a light, but the gods gave it. “Led only by the light of this star the myriad prayers that thou shalt see all around thee fly to the Hall of the gods. “Sighs shall waft thy ship of sighs over the sea of Tears. Thou shalt pass by islands of laughter and lands of song lying low in the sea, and all of them drenched with tears flung over their rocks by the waves of the sea all driven by the sighs. Y ON THE SHORES OF ALL THE STARS DOWN RIVER AND ACROSS THIS SEA THOU SHALT FARE IN A SHIP OF SIZE AND ALL AROUND THEE OVER THE SEA SHALL FLY THE PRAYERS OF MEN WHICH RISE ON WHITE WINGS HIGHER THAN THEIR SORROWS SOMETIMES PERCHED IN THE RIGGING SOMETIMES CRYING AROUND THEE SHALL GO THE PRAYERS THAT AVAIL NOT TO STAY THEE IN ZARKANDU FAR OVER THE WATERS AND ON THE WINGS OF THE PRAYERS BEATS THE LIGHT OF AN INACCESSIBLE STAR NO HAND HATH TOUCHED IT NONE HATH JOURNEYED TO IT IT HATH NO SUBSTANCE IT IS ONLY A LIGHT IT IS THE STAR OF HOPE AND IT SHINES FAR OVER THE SEA AND BRIGHTENS THE WORLD IT IS NOUGHT BUT A LIGHT BUT THE GODS GAVE IT LED ONLY BY THE LIGHT OF THIS STAR THE MYRIAD PRAYERS THAT THOU SHALT SEE ALL AROUND THEE FLY TO THE HALL OF THE GODS SIGHS SHALL WAFT THY SHIP OF SIGHS OVER THE SEA OF TEARS THOU SHALT PASS BY ISLANDS OF LAUGHTER AND LANDS OF SONG LYING LOW IN THE SEA AND ALL OF THEM DRENCHED WITH TEARS FLUNG OVER THEIR ROCKS BY THE WAVES OF THE SEA ALL DRIVEN BY THE SIGHS
