But even now I sometimes see in a dream the grey heather and the stunted grass of the waste land, and King Stakh’s Wild Hunt leap­ing, dashing through the marshes. The horses’ bits do not tinkle, the silent horsemen are sit­ting up straight in their saddles. Their hair, their capes, their horses’ manes are waving in the wind, and a lonely star is burning overhead.
King Stakh’s Wild Hunt is racing madly across the earth in terrifying silence.
I awaken and think that its time is not yet over, not as long as gloom and darkness and cold, social inequality and dark horror exist on earth. Across the land, half drowned in fog, still dashes The Wild Hunt.
