With Amroth I desired to conceal nothing, and he had no concealment from me. But with the girl it was different.
This was a younger man, who walked swiftly and vaguely about, casting glances up at the wall which enclosed him. Sometimes he stopped, and seemed to be pursuing some dreadful train of solitary thought; he gesticulated, and even broke out into mutterings and cries the cries that I had heard from without. I could not bear to look at this sight, and coming back, besought Amroth to lead me away.
But I do see that it can be no pleasure to you to state it, though I fear I shall never regain my pleasure in your company." "There," said Amroth, "that is sentiment again!" This put me into a great passion. "Very well," I said, "I will say no more. Perhaps you will just be good enough to tell me what I am to do with Cynthia, and where I am to go, and then I will trouble you no longer."
But indeed it is quite possible to overwork here, and you have the dim air of the pale student. Come," he said, "whatever happens, do not become priggish. Not to want a holiday is a sign of spiritual pride. Besides, I have some curious things to show you." I got up and said that I was ready, and Amroth led the way like a boy out for a holiday.
No one, not even God, can force us to understand this; we have to perceive it for ourselves, and to live in the knowledge of it." "Yes," I said, "it is true, all that. My heart tells me so; but it is very wonderful and mysterious, all the same. But, Amroth, I have seen and heard enough. My spirit desires with all its might to be at its own work, hastening on the mighty end.
But we must not make a business of landscape-gazing like our friend Charmides! We are men of affairs, you and I. Come, I will show you a thing. Shut your eyes for a minute and give me your hand. Now!" A sudden breeze fanned my face, sweet and odorous, like the wind out of a wood. "Now," said Amroth, "we have arrived! Where do you think we are?" The scene had changed in an instant.
There had been nothing quite like this before, and I suddenly became aware that Amroth was beside me, and that he had a look of anger in his face. "You had better not look at this," he said to me; "it might not be very helpful, as they say." "Am I to come with you?" I said. "That is well but I should like to say a word to one or two of my friends here." "No, not a word!" said Amroth quickly.
And so we walked for a time in friendly silence, Amroth occasionally indicating the way. The hill began to slope downwards very slowly, and the wind to subside. The mist drew off little by little, till at last I saw ahead of us a great bare-looking fortress with high walls and little windows, and a great blank tower over all.
They do much harm here, and will continue to do it." "What would have happened if they had found us here?" I said. "Nothing very much," said Amroth; "a good deal of talk no doubt, and some blows perhaps. But it was well I was with you, because I could have summoned help. They are not as strong as they look either it is mostly fear that aids them." "Well, but who are they?" I said.
"It is everything," said Amroth; "you are to see God. All is comprised in that." His words fell with a shocking distinctness in the calm air, and I felt my heart and limbs fail me, and a dizziness came over my mind. Hardly knowing what I did or said, I came to a stop. "But I did not know that it was possible," I said. "I thought that God was everywhere within us, about us, beyond us?
