And surely, when I was come that I could see
the grimness of the Lesser Pyramid, going upward
very desolate and silent into the night, lo! an
utter shaking fear did take me; for the sweet
cunning of my spirit did know that there abode
no human in all that great and dark bulk; but
that there did await me there, monstrous and
horrid things that should bring destruction upon
my soul. And I went downward of the hill, very
quiet in the darkness; and so in the end, away
from that place.
