As I turned the telescope's sights toward it, I was at once surprised and flabbergasted at what caught my eye. AS I TURNED THE TELESCOPE SIGHTS TOWARDS IT I WAS AT ONCE SURPRISED AND FLABBERGUSTED AT WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE
t day or two, I have to admit that I don't give much of a damn for politics or manners. And yet, with all my ardor I was quickly subdued by a curt rebuke by my interlocutors (for Zimri was there as well), which was, quite simply, that you hadn't taken Homer for any more than a creative poet, even after a few thousand years of study, so why should my meager manuscript make such a large impact. At that, I acquiesced to them and admitted that on that end my attempt to save humanity one way or another was contemptible, but I still write, as you see, for the story's sake, and possibly for my own material immortality. But never mind that, for it is high time that I went back to my story. I was looking through the spyglass at the various areas of Daem where my adventures had so far taken me. After I had examined them all for a few moments, I felt a strange urge to use the telescope to look closely at the mainland that I had seen before, to see what the effects of the Great War had been there. BOUT TO DIE WITHIN NEXT DAY OR TWO I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DON'T GIVE MUCH OF A DAMN FOR POLITICS OR MANNERS AND YET WITH ALL MY ARDOR I WAS QUICKLY SUBDUED BY A CURT REBUKE BY MY INTERLOCUTORS FOR ZIMRI WAS THERE AS WELL WHICH WAS QUITE SIMPLY THAT YOU HADN'T TAKEN HOMER FOR ANY MORE THAN A CREATIVE POET EVEN AFTER A FEW THOUSAND YEARS OF STUDY SO WHY SHOULD MY MEAGRE MANUSCRIPT MAKE SUCH A LARGE IMPACT AT THAT I ACQUIESCED TO THEM AND ADMITTED THAT ON THAT END MY ATTEMPT TO SAVE HUMANITY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WAS CONTEMPTIBLE BUT I STILL WRITE AS YOU SEE FOR THE STORY'S SAKE AND POSSIBLY FOR MY OWN MATERIAL IMMORTALITY BUT NEVER MIND THAT FOR IT IS HIGH TIME THAT I WENT BACK TO MY STORY I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE SPY GLASS AT THE VARIOUS AREAS OF DAME WHERE MY ADVENTURES HAD SO FAR TAKEN ME AFTER I HAD EXAMINED THEM ALL FOR A FEW MOMENTS I FELT A STRANGE URGE TO USE THE TELESCOPE TO LOOK CLOSELY AT THE MAINLAND THAT I HAD SEEN BEFORE TO SEE WHAT THE EFFECTS OF THE GREAT WAR HAD BEEN THERE
