Let Us make worlds and
Life and Death, and colours in the sky; only let Us not break the
silence upon Pegana."
Then raising Their hands, each god according to his sign, They
made the worlds and the suns, and put a light in the houses of the
sky.
Then said the gods: "Let Us make one to seek, to seek and never to
find out concerning the wherefore of the making of the gods."
And They made by the lifting of Their hands, each god according to
his sign, the Bright One with the flaring tail to seek from the
end of the Worlds to the end of them again, to return again after
a hundred years.
Man, when thou seest the comet, know that another seeketh besides
thee nor ever findeth out.
Then said the gods, still speaking with Their hands: "Let there be
now a Watcher to regard."
And They made the Moon, with his face wrinkled with many mountains
and worn with a thousand valleys, to regard with pale eyes the
games of the small gods, and to watch throughout the resting time
of MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI; to watch, to regard all things, and be
silent.
