"What is the greatest wonder, in all this wonderful scene?" he demanded. "Acquaint us," said Maskull. "All that you see is born from pleasure, and moves on, from pleasure to pleasure. Nowhere is right to be found. It is Shaping's world." "There is another wonder," said Tydomin, and she pointed her finger toward the sky overhead.
You, a voyager across the dark ocean of space, shall be my first witness and follower. You, Tydomin, a daughter of the despised sex, shall be my second." "The new law? But what is it?" "Until eye sees, of what use it is for ear to hear?.... Come, both of you, to me!" Tydomin went to him unhesitatingly.
"Do not make law for the universe and for all time, but for yourself and for this small, false life of yours." "In what shape did death come to that hard, unconquerable man?" asked Tydomin. "He lived to be old, but went upright and free-limbed to his last hour. When he saw that death could not be staved off longer he determined to destroy himself.
"I don't see anything," she answered, looking around. "But I see Joiwind." Just as he was speaking, the apparition vanished. "Now I present you with your life, Tydomin. She wishes it." The woman fingered her chin thoughtfully. "I little expected I should ever be beholden for my life to one of my own sex but so be it. What really happened to you in my cavern?" "I really saw Krag."
Maskull, however, returned the gaze without dismay. Spadevil's image-like clearness of form had departed for him; his frowning face he knew to be the deceptive portico of a weak and confused intellect. "It is false." "Is it false to sacrifice oneself for another?" demanded Tydomin. "I can't argue as yet," said Maskull.
He continued staring wildly down for several minutes, and then began to sob. Tydomin came up to him, and he got to his feet. The blood kept rushing to his face and leaving it again. It was some time before he could speak at all. Then he brought out the words with difficulty. "You shall pay for this, Tydomin. But first I want to hear why you did it."
"Yes," said Tydomin, "I will follow you to the end. It is all the more essential, because I keep on displeasing you with my remarks, and that means I have not yet learned my lesson properly." "Do not be humble, for humility is only self-judgment, and while we are thinking of self, we must be neglecting some action we could be planning or shaping in our mind."
"Wasn't she your lover?" asked Tydomin slowly. "You've made a terrible mistake," repeated Maskull. "I killed him because he was a wild beast. She was as innocent of his death as you are." Tydomin's face took on a hard look. "So you are guilty of two deaths." There was a dreadful silence. "Why couldn't you believe me?" asked Maskull, who was pale and sweating painfully.
Your law commands that we must be stoned; and it will soon be dark." "Have you not even this amount of manhood?" exclaimed Tydomin. Maskull moved heavily. "Be my witness, Catice, that the thing was forced on me." "Hator is looking on, and approving," replied Catice. Maskull then went apart to the pile of boulders scattered by the side of the pool.
The pictorial clarity of his person grew more and more noticeable as they approached; his body seemed to be composed of some substance heavier and denser than solid matter. Tydomin looked perplexed. "He must be a Sant man. I have seen no one quite like him before. This is a day of days for me." "He must be an individual of great importance," murmured Maskull. They now came up to him.
