Lord Dunsany Quotes

Now There Was Great Rejoicing At The Rumor Of Alderic's Quest, For All Folk Knew That He Was A Cautious Man, And They Deemed That He Would Succeed And Enrich The World, And They Rubbed Their Hands In The Cities At The Thought Of Largesse; And There Was Joy Among All Men In Alderic's Country, Except Perchance Among The Lenders Of Money, Who Feared They Would Soon Be Paid. And There Was Rejoicing Also Because Men Hoped That When The Gibbelins Were Robbed Of Their Hoard, They Would Shatter Their High-built Bridge And Break The Golden Chains That Bound Them To The World, And Drift Back, They And Their Tower, To The Moon, From Which They Had Come And To Which They Rightly Belonged. There Was Little Love For The Gibbelins, Though All Men Envied Their Hoard.
("The Hoard Of The Gibbelins")
