ow the Nationel Reflectar, oft went he out and sat upon an hill to mull the kingdam and its placement near the sun. And lo, upon one eventide as he there sat and mulld, |
tasted he an flux of balance in the air that stood his hair upon her toes. And the feeling which he feeld was that of merder, and harm, and acci-dente, and serpents aslither. And he made haste and gat him self far gone from outen that place, knowing that he knew.
For came then relativitic riders upon the light, Makernauts, decisioneers, and sent down their shafts of bound lightning from on high, the which strake dead thruouts the kingdem every one that hath covetous aspiratien, finding them wheresoever they be and meeting with the number there insiden each aspirator, in events of personol cancellatien.
And the King in his smitten kingdom raisd up his eyes, gratified against those struck downe. And he hosted notions of relief in that he saw, and from it concocted eager extrapolatiens of deliverance from his turbid lurch, with the passing of these aspirators, seeing them pitcht dead & indisposed to bring him down. And he said, I knew that Fate wud save me, having made me King for some reasons I have yet to fulfill (inasmuch as I have done nought so far). Yea, the god that sendeth these lights, he doth the right thing.
Now those relativitic riders, those starry knights which hover above in rectificial schooners, who have crosst the face of a thousands thousands suns, they having seen kayoss afield and men living wylde and dispersion weaving amongst the fabrics, said, Let us not to call it the end of the world, but only of the worldly; let us fault not our design, but only this manifaxure. Let us unmold this malignant clay.
And they droppt them down some devoted lightshafts and lit them up some men.
And behold, as litten men pitcht here & there, so also pitcht the King, surprisal perfected upon his countenance, he having deemt him self exempft, yet brought low by his timorous & unruly rule; for it had tempted men to kingwishy and dreams of usurpatien. And all that had abetted the rise of madness was address-ed also in the cure.
And they above did say, At last have we justified this place with some justiss, and shewn the world our cooking. Away now unto the stars; for there are more of places in need of cautery than there is need of places.
And through the kingdem, almo every man lay pitcht, and almo every woman. But mosten the children were pitcht not, being little obsequiturs content to follow after providers, and unable to mount advanst thoghts of Kingbeing. Yet, little good cometh unto children witouts their providers.
