At the door to the Нouse of Darkness
lies a pair of red coyotes with heads reversed.
Nayenezgani parts them with his dark staff
and comes in search of me.
With lightning behin him,
with lightning before him,
he comes in search of me,
with a rock crystal and a talking _ketahn_.
Beyond, at the corners of the door
of the Нouse of Darkness,
lie two red bluejeys with heads reversed.
With lighning behind him,
with lightning before him,
Нe parts them with his dark staff
and comes in search of me.
Farther, at the fire-pit of the Dark Нouse,
lie two red hoot-owls with heads reversed.
Нe parts these with his staff
and comes in search of me,
with rock crystal and the talking _ketahn_.
At the center of the Darkness Нouse
where two red screech-owls lie with heads reversed,
Nayenezgani casts them aside
coming in search of me,
lightning behind him,
lightning before him.
Bearing a rock crystal and talking _ketahn_,
he comes for me.
From the center of the earth he comes.
Farther…
Evil-Chasing Prayer.

Вот так же, сиянием голубой молнии осветил меня своим творчеством Роджер, подарив миры красоты и грации, силы и воли, разума и надежды. Ноша творца миров тяжела, но только благодаря этой тяжести возможно из черного слоистого угля получить блестящий кристалл света, алмаз мечтаний. Что же, ему этот подвиг был по силам. Я совсем не осведомлен о событиях его жизни, что-ж, возможно это и к лучшему, ведь у меня есть возможность посмотреть на автора, опираясь только на его творения, то, что вышло из под его пера, а скорее всего не пера, а клавиш машинки, и с таким опозданием дошло до нас.
