Today, we could only look and try to believe the sight of our eyes. We pulled the heavy curtains from the windows and we saw that the rooms were small, and we thought that not more than twelve men could have lived here. We thought it strange that men had been permitted to build a house for only twelve. TO DAY WE COULD ONLY LOOK AND TRY TO BELIEVE THE SIGHT OF OUR EYES WE PULLED THE HEAVY CURTAINS FROM THE WINDOWS AND WE SAW THAT THE ROOMS WERE SMALL AND WE THOUGHT THAT NOT MORE THAN TWELVE MEN COULD HAVE LIVED HERE WE THOUGHT IT STRANGE THAT MAN HAD BEEN PERMITTED TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR ONLY TWELVE
ocks. And there, before us, on a broad summit, with the mountains rising behind it, stood a house such as we had never seen, and the white fire came from the sun on the glass of its windows. The house had two stories and a strange roof flat as a floor. There was more window than wall upon its walls, and the windows went on straight around the corners, though how this kept the house standing we could not guess. The walls were hard and smooth, of that stone unlike stone which we had seen in our tunnel. We both knew it without words: this house was left from the Unmentionable Times. The trees had protected it from time and weather, and from men who have less pity than time and weather. We turned to the Golden One and we asked: “Are you afraid?” But they shook their head. So we walked to the door, and we threw it open, and we stepped together into the house of the Unmentionable Times. We shall need the days and the years ahead, to look, to learn, and to understand the things of this house.  CLIMBED TOWARDS IT THROUGH THE ROCKS AND THERE BEFORE US ON A BROAD SUMMIT WITH THE MOUNTAINS RISING BEHIND IT STOOD A HOUSE SUCH AS WE HAD NEVER SEEN AND THE WHITE FIRE CAME FROM THE SUN ON THE GLASS OF ITS WINDOWS THE HOUSE HAD TWO STORIES AND A STRANGE ROOF FLAT AS A FLOOR THERE WAS MORE WINDOW THAN WALL UPON ITS WALLS AND THE WINDOWS WENT ON STRAIGHT AROUND THE CORNERS THOUGH HOW THIS HOUSE KEPT STANDING WE COULD NOT GUESS THE WALLS WERE HARD AND SMOOTH OF THAT STONE UNLIKE STONE WHICH WE HAD SEEN IN OUR TUNNEL WE BOTH KNEW IT WITHOUT WORDS THIS HOUSE WAS LEFT FROM THE UNMENTIONABLE TIMES THE TREES HAD PROTECTED IT FROM TIME AND WEATHER AND FROM MEN WHO HAVE LESS PITY THAN TIME AND WEATHER WE TURNED TO THE GOLDEN ONE AND WE ASKED ARE YOU AFRAID BUT THEY SHOOK THEIR HEAD SO WE WALKED TO THE DOOR AND WE THREW IT OPEN AND WE STEPPED TOGETHER INTO THE HOUSE OF THE UNMENTIONABLE TIMES WE SHALL NEED THE DAYS AND THE YEARS AHEAD TO LOOK TO LEARN AND TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF THIS HOUSE
