And in our heart—strange are the ways of evil! AND IN OUR HEART STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF EVIL
imes will not bring us to the end of our quest. But we wish no end to our quest. We wish nothing, save to be alone and to learn, and to feel as if with each day our sight were growing sharper than the hawk’s and clearer than rock crystal. Strange are the ways of evil. We are false in the faces of our brothers. We are defying the will of our Councils. We alone, of the thousands who walk this earth, we alone in this hour are doing a work which has no purpose save that we wish to do it. The evil of our crime is not for the human mind to probe. The nature of our punishment, if it be discovered, is not for the human heart to ponder. Never, not in the memory of the Ancient Ones’ Ancients, never have men done that which we are doing. And yet there is no shame in us and no regret. We say to ourselves that we are a wretch and a traitor. But we feel no burden upon our spirit and no fear in our heart. And it seems to us that our spirit is clear as a lake troubled by no eyes save those of the sun.  TO SEE HOW GREAT IS THE UNEXPLORED AND HOW MANY LIFETIMES WILL NOT BRING US TO THE END OF OUR QUEST WE WISH NOTHING SAVE TO BE ALONE AND TO LEARN AND TO FEEL AS IF WITH EACH DAY OUR SIGHT WERE GROWING SHARPER THAN THE HAWKS AND CLEARER THAN THE ROCK CRYSTAL STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF EVIL WE ARE FALSE IN THE FACES OF OUR BROTHERS WE ARE DEFYING THE WILL OF OUR COUNSELS WE ALONE OF THE THOUSANDS WHO WALK THE EARTH WE ALONE IN THIS HOUR ARE DOING A WORK WHICH HAS NO PURPOSE SAVE THAT WE WISH TO DO IT THE EVIL OF OUR CRIME IS NOT FOR THE HUMAN MIND TO PROBE THE NATURE OF OUR PUNISHMENT IF IT BE DISCOVERED IS NOT FREE FOR THE HUMAN HEART TO PONDER NEVER NOT IN THE MEMORY OF THE ANCIENT ONES ANCIENTS NEVER HAVE MEN DONE WHAT WE ARE DOING AND YET THERE IS NO SHAME IN US AND NO REGRET WE SAY TO OURSELVES THAT WE ARE A WRETCH AND A TRAITOR BUT WE FEEL NO BURDEN UPON OUR SPIRIT AND NO FEAR IN OUR HEART AND IT SEEMS TO US THAT OUR SPIRIT IS CLEAR AS A LAKE TROUBLED BY NO EYES SAVE THOSE OF THE SUN
