"Open the gates, and bid them enter."
――Lim-Dûl, the Necromancer
傍らにかがむ神秘の影よ
汝は何者？
いずこよりここへ？
――スティーヴン・クレイン「傍らにかがむ神秘の影よ」
"Mystic shadow, bending near me, /
Who art thou? / Whence come ye?"
――Stephen Crane,
"Mystic shadow, bending near me"
その頭巾の下を見ることは、死を招き寄せるということだ。
To gaze under its hood is to invite death.
囁き声の合唱を、聴くというより感じるように飛ぶ。
It rides to a chorus of whispers that are more felt than heard.
