From the beginning they lied. To the child, <br>telling him that there was somewhere anger against him, and a <br>hatred against him, and the only reason for his being in the <br>world.<br>But never did they tell him that the only evil and danger was in <br>themselves; that they alone were the prisoners and the betrayers; <br>that they - they alone - were responsible for what was being done <br>in the world.<br>And they told the child to starve and to kill the child that was within <br>him; for only by doing this could he become a useful and adjusted <br>member of the community which they had prepared for him.<br>And this time, alas, they did not lie.<br>And with the death of the child was born a thing that had neither <br>the character of a man nor the character of a child, but was a <br>horrible and monstrous parody of the two; and it is in this world <br>now that the flesh of man’s spirit lies twisted and despoiled under <br>the indifferent stars.<br>When we were here together in a place we did not know, nor one <br>another.<br>O green the bit of warm grass between our teeth.
