Airs of Parabola | Third paragraph |
---|---|
1 - 18 | the Chessboard is one of many game-boards in Parabola. There are other games: some skill, some chance, some of daring and bluff. There are other kingdoms, and some of these do not consider it merit when they prevail, but only Fortune. |
20 - 28 | devils hunt now in the Forgotten Quarter. Time was when their silver hunting-horns rang out over Parabola instead […] Perhaps that is even where they got a taste for the sport – though one can't be sure. |
32 - 49 | there are dreamers who have slept for centuries, holding fast their corner of Parabola, in the dream-company of spouses and children long since passed into dust: a private Waswood for a singular past. But when they wake, Parabola will wash all clean. |
50 - 66 | there are pyramids and ziggurats […] There are cenotes[…], and hanging gardens, and ball-courts, all thriving as though newly built.[…] these districts conceal themselves from Londoners, so that you will not commit the effrontery of finding them antique. |
70 - 88 | spiders dream in Parabola, whole citadels of silk. If you could find that place, you could walk in those same palaces, though you would soon lose your way. |
91 - 96 | even Polythreme has dreams. Sometimes, its resting denizens will shed a sentient harpsichord or a disgruntled tuba into some adjacent sleeper's field. |

Airs of Parabola | Third paragraph |
---|---|
1 - 18 | the Chessboard is one of many game-boards in Parabola. There are other games; there are other kingdoms, waging their wars not as chess but as poker or roulette; gathering their dead with a croupier's hook. |
20 - 28 | devils hunt now in the Forgotten Quarter. Time was […] their silver hunting-horns rang out over Parabola instead, and devils played the Nightmare's part. How many Surface dreamers […] woke sweating and eager to tithe to their church? |
32 - 49 | there are dreamers who have slept for centuries, holding fast their corner of Parabola, so that an inhabitant there might almost fancy they lived in the Is. Families of Fingerkings are born and nest there, and grow old in that facsimile of Being. |
50 - 66 | there are pyramids and ziggurats in Parabola, and mound-cities: abandoned long ago when their inhabitants decided that the life of a city was unhealthy and unkind. |
70 - 88 | spiders dream in Parabola. In the thick webbing of their dreams, every sort of succulent insect is caught and lies ready to eat. Every larger animal is also an insect: […] all dreamed with faceted eyes and sweetly fluid bodies. |
91 - 96 | even Polythreme has dreams. Sometimes, the screaming can be heard in other nightmares far away. |
