Then, looking long upon the wandering ships, and the marvelous merchandise from alien lands, and the unknown colour that wreathed the brows of the Sea, he turned his face to the darkness and the Inner Lands. THEN LOOKING LONG UPON THE WANDERING SHIPS AND THE MARVELLOUS MERCHANDISE FROM ALIEN LANDS AND THE UNKNOWN COLOR THAT WREATHED THE BROWS OF THE SEA HE TURNED HIS FACE TO THE DARKNESS AND THE INNER LANDS
he currents and the white sails of ships were all together like the face of a strange new god that has looked at a man for the first time in the eyes at the moment of his death; and Athelvok, looking on the wonderful Sea, knew why it was that the dead never return, for there is something that the dead feel and know, and the living would never understand even though the dead should come and speak to them about it. And there was the Sea smiling at him, glad with the glory of the sun. And there was a haven there for homing ships, and a sunlit city stood upon its marge, and people walked about the streets of it clad in the unimagined merchandise of far sea-bordering lands. An easy slope of loose rock went from the top of Poltarnees to the shore of the Sea. For a long while Athelvok stood there regretfully, knowing that there had come something into his soul that no one in the Inner Lands could understand, where the thoughts of their minds had gone no farther than the three little kingdoms. E SURGES AND THE CURRENTS AND THE WHITE SAILS OF SHIPS WERE ALL TOGETHER LIKE THE FACE OF A STRANGE NEW GOD THAT HAS LOOKED AT A MAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE EYES AT THE MOMENT OF HIS DEATH AND ATHELVOC LOOKING ON THE WONDERFUL SEA KNEW WHY IT WAS THAT THE DEAD NEVER RETURN FOR THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEAD FEEL AND KNOW AND THE LIVING WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND EVEN THOUGH THE DEAD SHOULD COME AND SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS THE SEA SMILING AT HIM GLAD WITH THE GLORY OF THE SUN AND THERE WAS A HAVEN THERE FOR HOMING SHIPS AND A SUNLIT CITY STOOD UPON ITS MARGE AND PEOPLE WALKED ABOUT THE STREETS OF IT CLAD IN THE UNIMAGINED MERCHANDISE OF FAR SEA BORDERING LANDS AN EASY SLOPE OF LOOSE ROCK WENT FROM THE TOP OF PULTARNEY'S TO THE SHORE OF THE SEA FOR A LONG WHILE A FELBOX STOOD THERE REGRETFULLY KNOWING THAT THERE HAD COME SOMETHING INTO HIS SOUL THAT NO ONE IN THE INNER LANDS COULD UNDERSTAND WHERE THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR MINDS HAD GONE NO FARTHER THAN THE THREE LITTLE KINGDOMS
