"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." "But you think such thoughts as these and you wish us to think them." We [-look-] {+looked+} into their {+eyes+} and we could not lie. "Yes," we whispered, and they smiled, and then we said: "Our dearest one, do not obey us." They stepped back, and their eyes were wide and still. "Speak [-these-] {+those+} words again," they whispered. "Which words?" we asked. But they did not answer, and we knew it. "Our dearest one," we whispered. Never have men said this to women. The head of the Golden One bowed slowly, and they stood still before us, their arms at their sides, the palms of their hands turned to us, as if their body were delivered in submission to our eyes. And we could not speak. Then they raised their head, and they spoke simply and gently, as if they wished us to forget some anxiety of their own. "The day is hot," they said, "and you have worked for many hours and you must be weary." "No," we answered. "It is cooler in the fields," they said, "and there is water to drink. Are you thirsty?" [-"Yes,"-] {+"Yes,+} we answered, "but we cannot cross the hedge." "We shall bring the water to you," they said. Then they knelt by the moat, they gathered water in their two hands, they rose and they held the water out to our lips. We do not know if we drank that water. We only knew suddenly that their hands were empty, but we were still holding our lips to their hands, and that they knew [-it,-] {+it+} but did not move. We raised our head and stepped back. For we did not understand what had made us do this, and we were afraid to understand it. And the Golden One stepped back, and stood looking upon their hands in wonder. Then the Golden One moved away, even though no others were coming, and they [-moved,-] {+moved+} stepping back, as if they could not turn from us, their arms bent before them, as if they could not lower their hands. [-PART FIVE-] {+Chapter Five+} We made it. We created it. We brought it forth from the night of the ages. We alone. Our hands. Our mind. Ours alone and only. We know not what we are saying. Our head is reeling. We look upon the light which we [-have-] {+had+} made. We shall be forgiven for anything we say [-tonight.-] {+tonight .+} . . .
