Chapter XXIII
During the night following our arrival, many dreams were no doubt dreamt in Odo. But my thoughts were wakeful. And while all others slept, obeying a restless impulse, I stole without into the magical starlight. There are those who in a strange land ever love to view it by night. It has been said, that the opening in the groves where was situated Media’s city, was elevated above the surrounding plains.
