Isaw both banks of the river—i saw that once there had been god-roads across it, though now they were broken and fallen like broken vines. very great they were, and wonderful and broken—broken in the time of the great burning when the fire fell out of the sky. and always the current took me nearer to the place of the gods, and the huge ruins rose before my eyes.

i do not know the customs of rivers—we are the people of the hills. i tried to guide my raft with the pole but it spun around. i thought the river meant to take me past the place of the gods and out into the bitter water of the legends.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
