"by nightfall he was fatigued, footsore, famished. the thought of his wife and children urged him on. at last he found a road which led him in what he knew to be the right direction. it was as wide and straight as a city street, yet it seemed untraveled. no fields bordered it, no dwelling anywhere. not so much as the barking of a dog suggested human habitation. the black bodies of the trees formed a straight wall on both sides, terminating on the horizon in a point, like a diagram in a lesson in perspective. overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood, shone great garden stars looking unfamiliar and grouped in strange constellations. he was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance. the wood on either side was full of singular noises, among which--once, twice, and again--he distinctly heard whispers in an unknown tongue."
