  • First Book: Chapter 1

    MANY are the hours in which I have pondered upon the story that is set forth in the following pages. I trust that my instincts are not awry when they prompt me to leave the account, in simplicity, as it was handed to me. And the Manuscript [MS], itself–You must picture me, when first it Continue reading

  • Hello Everyone

    I am a transplant from Google’s blogspot. The Blog that I created there: inbirdyseyes@blogspot.com has exactly 20,000 articles. Why only 20,000 you ask; because even though I have been writing on that blog since Nov. 2009, it took me until August of 2022 to reach their cap of 20,000 posts, of which I had no Continue reading

  • First Book: Chapter 7.

    “IT WAS now about three a.m., and, presently, the Eastern sky began to pale with the coming of dawn. Gradually, the day came, and, by its light, I scanned the gardens, earnestly; but nowhere could I see any signs of the brutes.

  • First Book: Chapter 4.

    “THUS I was, and only the memory that I had lived through the dark, once before, served to sustain my thoughts. A great time passed–ages. And then a single star broke its way through the darkness. It was the first of one of the out-lying clusters of this universe. Presently, it was far behind, and Continue reading

  • First Book: Chapter 3.

    “AND SO, after a time, I came to the mountains. Then, the course of my journey was altered, and I began to move along their bases, until, all at once, I saw that I had come opposite to a vast rift, opening into the mountains. Through this, I was borne, moving at no great speed. Continue reading

  • First Book :Chapter 2

    “I AM an old man. I live here in this ancient house, surrounded by huge, unkempt gardens. The peasantry, who inhabit the wilderness beyond, say that I am mad. That is because I will have nothing to do with them. I live here alone with my old sister, who is also my housekeeper. We keep Continue reading
