It was close and dry and dusty in the house of the gods. I
have said the magic was gone but that is not true-it had
gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the
place. I felt the spirits about me, weighing upon me. Nor
had I ever slept in a Dead Place before-and yet, tonight,
I must sleep there. When I thought of it, my tongue felt
dry in my throat, in spite of my wish for knowledge.
Almost I would have gone down again and faced the dogs,
but I did not.
I had not gone through all the rooms when the darkness
fell. When it fell, I went back to the big room looking over
the city and made fire. There was a place to make fire and
a box with wood in it, though I do not think they cooked
there. I wrapped myself in a floor-covering and slept in
front of the fire-I was very tired.
-"By the Waters of Babylon,"
Stephen Vincent Benet
