And so it was that there grew upon me the glamour of the hunt, though I had forgotten Tarn, and took me into mossy places and into dark woods, and I became the cousin of the wolf and looked into the lynx's eyes and knew the bear; and the birds called to me with half remembered notes, and there grew in me a deep love of great rivers and of all western seas, and a distrust of cities, and all the while I had forgotten Tarn. AND SO IT WAS THAT THERE GREW UPON ME THE GLAMOUR OF THE HUNT THOUGH I HAD FORGOTTEN TARN AND TOOK ME INTO MOSSY PLACES AND INTO DARK WOODS AND I BECAME THE COUSIN OF THE WOLF AND LOOKED INTO THE LYNX'S EYES AND KNEW THE BEAR AND THE BIRDS CALLED TO ME WITH HALF REMEMBERED NOTES AND THERE GREW IN ME A DEEP LOVE OF GREAT RIVERS AND OF ALL WESTERN SEAS AND A DISTRUST OF CITIES AND ALL THE WHILE I HAD FORGOTTEN TARN
f the dawn sailed also on Munra-O. “Down this river it is the wont of the gods to carry the souls of men eastward to where the world in the distance faces on Munra-O.

And I know now that he came down the stream in the dusk keeping well to the middle, and that he moved silently and swiftly among the ships, wielding a twin-bladed oar. I remember, now, the yellow gleaming of the great boats of the gods of the Pomp of Cities, and the huge prow above me of the gods of the Pride of Power, when Tarn, dipping his right blade into the river, lifted his left blade high, and the drops gleamed and fell. Thus Tarn the hunter took me to the world that faces across the sea of the west on the gate of Munra-O. IDE WHEN THE GODS OF THE DAWN SAILED ALSO ON MANRA O DOWN THIS RIVER IT IS THE WONT OF THE GODS TO CARRY THE SOULS OF MEN EASTWARD TO WHERE THE WORLD IN THE DISTANCE FACES ON MUNRA O THEN I KNEW THAT WHEN THE GODS OF THE PRIDE OF POWER AND GODS OF THE POMPOUS CITIES WENT DOWN THE RIVER IN THEIR TALL GOLD SHIPS TO TAKE EARTHWARD OTHER SOULS SWIFTLY ADOWN THE RIVER AND BETWEEN THE SHIPS HAD GONE IN THIS BOAT OF BIRCH BARK THE GOD TARN THE HUNTER BEARING MY SOUL TO THE WORLD AND I KNOW NOW THAT HE CAME DOWN THE STREAM IN THE DUSK KEEPING WELL TO THE MIDDLE AND THAT HE MOVED SILENTLY AND SWIFTLY AMONG THE SHIPS WIELDING A TWIN BLADED OAR I REMEMBER NOW THE YELLOW GLEAMING OF THE GREAT BOATS OF THE GODS OF THE POMP OF CITIES AND THE HUGE PROW ABOVE ME OF THE GODS OF THE PRIDE OF POWER WHEN TARN DIPPING HIS RIGHT BLADE INTO THE RIVER LIFTED HIS LEFT BLADE HIGH AND THE DROPS GLEAMED AND FELL THUS TARN THE HUNTER TOOK ME TO THE WORLD THAT FACES ACROSS THE SEA OF THE WEST ON THE GATE OF MANRA O
