Somewhere in a long winding valley a wild stream raced southward choked with rattling ice from the glacial north. through grassy plains dotted with copses and groves of the spreading forest it moved and meandered, coiling back again and again upon itself, but ever and .always mowhg forward. pines, birches, willows and oaks stood straight against the light, cool sky of the morning of early spring. and standing there with them, still for the moment, and staring, was one lone figure.

'if stk's p£ap. i'u never f/np her. the beasts are always hungry, leav/ng only bone. anp all bones are as one. "

"the entire y/llage pestroyed. all peap, save her anp me. i must f/np her soo/v. "

the young valley lay stretched to the light touch of cumulus clouds. high limestone cliffs stood rigid on either side. winding down precariously from the rim toward the life giving water were goat trails where from time to time all manner of animal life trafficked. it was one of these that the single human figure made its way downward.

the warming sun rose higher and higher, and the shadows shortened toward noon.
