For many years they had wandered and had fought with many tribes; often they gathered legends in villages and listened to idle singers singing songs; and all the rumours of Carcassonne still came from the South. FOR MANY YEARS THEY HAD WANDERED AND HAD FOUGHT WITH MANY TRIBES OFTEN THEY GATHERED LEGENDS AND VILLAGES AND LISTENED TO IDLE SINGERS SINGING SONGS AND ALL THE RUMOURS OF CARCASSINY STILL CAME FROM THE SOUTH
les with terrible wild men, and came out singing, but with fewer voices; they came to villages in valleys full of the music of bells, or saw the lights at dusk of cottages sheltering others. They became a proverb for wandering, and a legend arose of strange, disconsolate men. Folks spoke of them at nightfall when the fire was warm and rain slipped down the eaves; and when the wind was high small children feared the Men Who Would Not Rest were going clattering past. Strange tales were told of men in old grey armour moving at twilight along the tops of the hills and never asking shelter; and mothers told their boys who grew impatient of home that the grey wanderers were once so impatient and were now hopeless of rest, and were driven along with the rain whenever the wind was angry. But the wanderers were cheered in their wandering by the hope of coming to Carcassonne, and later on by anger against Fate, and at last they marched on still because it seemed better to march on than to think. NGING INTO BATTLES WITH TERRIBLE WILD MEN AND CAME OUT SINGING BUT WITH FEWER VOICES THEY CAME TO VILLAGES AND VALLEYS FULL OF THE MUSIC OF BELLS OR SAW THE LIGHTS AT DUSK OF COTTAGES SHELTERING OTHERS THEY BECAME A PROVERB FOR WANDERING AND THE LEGEND AROSE OF STRANGE DISCONSOLATE MEN FOLK SPOKE OF THEM AT NIGHTFALL WHEN THE FIRE WAS WARM AND RAIN SLIPPED DOWN THE EAVES AND WHEN THE WIND WAS HIGH SMALL CHILDREN FEARED THE MEN WHO WOULD NOT REST WERE GOING CLATTERING PAST STRANGE TALES WERE TOLD OF MEN IN OLD GRAY ARMOUR MOVING AT TWILIGHT ALONG THE TOPS OF THE HILLS AND NEVER ASKING SHELTER AND MOTHERS TOLD THEIR BOYS WHO GREW IMPATIENT OF HOME THAT THE GRAY WANDERERS WERE ONCE SO IMPATIENT AND WERE NOW HOPELESS OF REST AND WERE DRIVEN ALONG WITH THE RAIN WHENEVER THE WIND WAS ANGRY BUT THE WANDERERS WERE CHEERED IN THEIR WANDERING BY THE HOPE OF COMING TO CARCASSINY AND LATER ON BY ANGER AGAINST FATE AND AT LAST THEY MARCHED ON STILL BECAUSE IT SEEMED BETTER TO MARCH ON THAN TO THINK
