And have not flowers when spring was over died in the gardens of many children? Tears enough, O King, tears enough have gone down out of earth to make such a sea; and deep it is and wide and the gods know it and it flings its spray on the shores of all the stars. AND HAVE NOT FLOWERS WHEN SPRING WAS OVER DIED IN THE GARDENS OF MANY CHILDREN TEARS ENOUGH O KING TEARS ENOUGH HAVE GONE DOWN OUT OF EARTH TO MAKE SUCH A SEA AND DEEP IT IS AND WIDE AND THE GODS KNOW IT AND IT FLINGS ITS SPRAY ON THE SHORES OF ALL THE STARS
n was ever a hunter.” XI Then Ulf spake, the prophet who in Sistrameides lives in a temple anciently dedicated to the gods. Rumour hath guessed that there the gods walked once some time towards evening. But Time whose hand is against the temples of the gods hath dealt harshly with it and overturned its pillars and set upon its ruins his sign and seal: now Ulf dwells there alone. And Ulf said, “There sets, O King, a river outward from earth which meets with a mighty sea whose waters roll through space and fling their billows on the shores of every star. These are the river and the sea of the Tears of Men.” And the King said: “Men have not written of this sea.” And the prophet answered: “Have not tears enough burst in the night time out of sleeping cities? Have not the sorrows of 10,000 homes sent streams into this river when twilight fell and it was still and there was none to hear? Have there not been hopes, and were they all fulfilled? Have there not been conquests and bitter defeats?
