I now saw two mountains so high that their shadows perpetually darkened
the Broad Highway which covered the wide valley between them.
In this Shadowy Vale many held permanent residence, until the whole
region swarmed with teeming millions of every tongue and tribe on the

can I be privileged to see what is there hidden?"
"Come with me," coldly invited Blackana, "I will guide you to the
nethermost realms now unseen by you.
