Je me trouvai dans l\u2019obscurit\u00e9, peu \u00e0 peu mes yeux s\u2019accoutumerent au peu de lumiere qui r\u00e9gnoit dans cette enceinte, et je p\u00fbs distinguer les objets qui m\u2019entouraient. la voute, les parois, le plancher de la salle \u00e9toient noirs comme l\u2019\u00e9b\u00e8ne, deux tableaux peints sur la muraille fixerent mon attention l\u2019un repr\u00e9sentoit un cheval tel que les poetes nous peignent celui qui causa la ruine de Troie. De ses flancs entreuverts sortoit un cadavre humain. L\u2019autre peinture offroit l\u2019image d\u2019un homme mort depuis longtems, les vils insectes enfans de la putr\u00e9faction, | THE earth was as dark as the water through which I had come. A hardly perceptible slope led me to the base of the building which I had seen from afar. On its long square front several characters were engraved like those used by the priests of ancient Persia. The entire building was made of rough black basalt; the doors, of cypress wood, opened to let me pass. A warm, moist wind arose suddenly and pushed me rapidly to the middle of the chamber at the same time closing the doors upon me . . . I was in darkness, but gradually my eyes grew accustomed to the meager light which reigned in this enclosure and I was able to discern the surrounding objects. The vaulting, the walls and the floor of the chamber were as black as ebony. Two mural paintings arrested my attention; one represented a horse such as our poets describe as having caused the downfall of Troy. From its gaping flanks a human corpse protruded. The other image showed a man long dead. Vile insects bred by putrefaction swarmed over his face and devoured the substance which had given them birth. One of the arms of the dead man, stripped of its flesh, already showed | \n| s\u2019agittaient sur son visage et d\u00e9voraient la substance qui les avoit fait na\u00eetre, un des bras d\u00e9charn\u00e9s de la figure morte, loissoit d\u00e9ja aper\u00e7evoir les os; plac\u00e9 pr\u00e8s du cadavre, un homme vetu de rouge s\u2019effer\u00e7oit de le relever, une \u00e9toille brilloit . . . sur son front, des brodequins noirs couvroient ses jambes, trois lames noires charg\u00e9es de caract\u00e8res d\u2019argent etoient pos\u00e9es au dessus, entre et au dessous des tableaux. Je les lus, et m\u2019occupai \u00e0 parcourir la salle o\u00f9 je devois passer neuf jours. Dans un coin plus obscur se trouvoit un mon\u00e7eau de terre noire, grasse et satur\u00e9e de particules animales, je voulus en prendre, une voix \u00e9clatante comme le son d\u2019une trompette me le d\u00e9fendit, il n\u2019y a que quatre vingt sept ans que cette terre est pos\u00e9e dans cette salle me dit-elle . . . quand treize autres ann\u00e9es seront \u00e9coul\u00e9es, toi et les autres enfans de Dieu pourront en user. La voix se tut mais les derniers sons vibr\u00earent long temps dans ce temple du silence et de la mort. Apres y \u00eatre rest\u00e9 le temps prescrit je sortis par la porte oppos\u00e9e \u00e0 celle par la qu\u2019elle j\u2019\u00e9tois entr\u00e9. Je revis la lumiere, mais elle n\u2019\u00e9toit pas assez vive autour de la salle noire, pour fatiguer mes yeux habitu\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019obscurit\u00e9. Je vis avec \u00e9tonnement qu\u2019il me falboit pour joindre les autres \u00e9difices traverser un lac plus large que le premier, je marchai dans l\u2019eau pendant dix huit jours. Je me souvins que dans la premiere travers\u00e9e les eaux du lac devenoient plus noires et plus \u00e9paisses \u00e0 mesure que j avan\u00e7ois, au contraire dans celle ici plus j\u2019approchais de la rive, et plus les eaux s\u2019\u00e9claircissoient. Ma robe qui dans le palais \u00e9toit devenue | the bones. A man, dressed in red, standing by the corpse, endeavoured to lift it. A star shone on his forehead; his legs were enclosed in black buskins. Above, between and below the picture were three black panels bearing silver characters. I read them and then occupied the time by making the rounds of the hall where I was to spend nine days. In a dark corner I found a pile of black earth which was fat and saturated with animal particles. I was about to take some of it when a thundering voice, like the sound of a trumpet, forbade me to do so, saying: \"This earth has lain in this hall only eighty-seven years; when thirteen more years have elapsed, thou and the other children of God may use it.\" The voice fell silent, but its last ringing sounds continued to vibrate a long time in that temple of silence and death. After remaining in it the time prescribed, I departed by the door opposite to the one through which I had entered. I again saw the light, but it was not so strong around the black hall as to tire my eyes habituated to darkness. I saw with surprise that in order to reach the other buildings I should have to cross a wider lake than the first one. For eighteen days I walked in the water. I recalled that when crossing the first lake its waters became darker and thicker as I advanced. The waters of this lake, on the contrary, became ever clearer the closer I approached the shore. My robe, which had in the palace become as black as the walls, seemed | \n| noire comme les murailles me parut alors d\u2019une teinte gris\u00e2tre, elle reprit peu \u00e0 peu ses couleurs, cependant elle n\u2019\u00e9toit pas entierement bleue, mais approchant d\u2019un beau verd. Apr\u00e8s dix huit jours je montai sur le rivage par un perron de marbre blanc; la salle est nomm\u00e9e le premier lac le second | to me to be of a grayish hue; gradually it resumed its colours; however, it did not become entirely blue but was nearer to a beautiful green. After eighteen days I ascended the embankment by means of a white marble platform.
