And it seemed as if these eyes were trying to tell us something through the flames, to send into our eyes some word without sound. AND IT SEEMED AS IF THESE EYES WERE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING THROUGH THE FLAMES TO SEND INTO OUR EYES SOME WORD WITHOUT SOUND
yre, the Transgressor looked upon the City. There was a thin thread of blood running from the corner of their mouth, but their lips were smiling. And a monstrous thought came to us then, which has never left us. We had heard of Saints. There are the Saints of Labor, and the Saints of the Councils, and the Saints of the Great Rebirth. But we had never seen a Saint nor what the likeness of a Saint should be. And we thought then, standing in the square, that the likeness of a Saint was the face we saw before us in the flames, the face of the Transgressor of the Unspeakable Word. As the flames rose, a thing happened which no eyes saw but ours, else we would not be living today. Perhaps it had only seemed to us. But it seemed to us that the eyes of the Transgressor had chosen us from the crowd and were looking straight upon us. There was no pain in their eyes and no knowledge of the agony of their body. There was only joy in them, and pride, a pride holier than is fit for human pride to be. KE AND A FLAME SET TO THE PYRE THE TRANSGRESSOR LOOKED UPON THE CITY THERE WAS A THIN THREAD OF BLOOD RUNNING FROM THE CORNER OF THEIR MOUTH BUT THEIR LIPS WERE SMILING AND A MONSTROUS THOUGHT CAME TO US THEN WHICH HAS NEVER LEFT US WE HAD HEARD OF SAINTS THERE ARE THE SAINTS OF LABOR THE SAINTS OF THE COUNCILS THE SAINTS OF THE GREAT RE BIRTH BUT WE HAD NEVER SEEN A SAINT NOR WHAT THE LIKENESS OF A SAINT SHOULD BE AND WE THOUGHT THEN STANDING IN THE SQUARE THAT THE LIKENESS OF A SAINT WAS THE FACE WE SAW BEFORE US IN THE FLAMES THE FACE OF THE TRANSGRESSOR OF THE UNSPEAKABLE WORD AS THE FLAMES ROSE A THING HAPPENED WHICH NO EYES SAW BUT OURS ELSE WE WOULD NOT BE LIVING TO DAY PERHAPS IT HAD ONLY SEEMED TO US BUT IT SEEMED TO US THAT THE EYES OF THE TRANSGRESSOR HAD CHOSEN US FROM THE CROWD AND WERE LOOKING STRAIGHT UPON US THERE WAS NO PAIN IN THEIR EYES AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE AGONY OF THEIR BODY THERE WAS ONLY JOY IN THEM AND PRIDE A PRIDE HOLIER THAN IT IS FIT FOR HUMAN PRIDE TO BE
