For all must agree with all, and they cannot know if their thoughts are the thoughts of all, and so they fear to speak. And they are glad when the candles are blown for the night. But we, Equality 7-2521, look through the window upon the sky, and there is peace in the sky, and cleanliness, and dignity.
Their face did not move and they did not avert their eyes. Only their eyes grew wider, and there was triumph in their eyes, and it was not triumph over us, but over things we could not guess. Then they asked: "What is your name?" "Equality 7-2521," we answered. "You are not one of our brothers, Equality 7-2521, for we do not wish you to be."
By the grace of our brothers are we allowed our lives. We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State. Amen." Then we slept. The sleeping halls were white and clean and bare of all things save one hundred beds. We, Equality 7-2521, were not happy in those years in the Home of the Students. It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy.
They stood straight all of a sudden and they answered: "Rather would we die." "Then," we said, "keep silent. This place is ours. This place belongs to us, Equality 7-2521, and to no other men on earth. And if ever we surrender it, we shall surrender our life with it also." Then we saw that the eyes of International 4-8818 were full to the lids with tears they dared not drop.
"What is our name?" they asked. "The Golden One." "Nor do we call you Equality 7-2521 when we think of you." "What name have you given us?" They looked straight into our eyes and they held their head high and they answered: "The Unconquered." For a long time we could not speak. Then we said: "Such thoughts as these are forbidden, Golden One."
