But it was a queer city. The lights were so few and far apart that they would hardly have done for scattered cottages in our world. But the little bits of the place which you could see by the lights were like glimpses of a great seaport. You could make out in one place a whole crowd of ships loading or unloading; in another, bales of stuff and warehouses; in a third, walls and pillars that suggested great palaces or temples; and always, wherever the light fell, endless crowds.hundreds of Earthmen, jostling one another as they padded softly about their business inarrow streets, broad squares, or up great flights of steps. heir continued movement made a sort of soft, murmuring oise as the ship drew nearer and nearer; but there was not song or a shout or a bell or the rattle of a wheel anywhere. he City was as quiet, and nearly as dark, as the inside of n ant.hill.
