anthem, Chapter one. It is a send to write this. It is a send to think words no others think. And to put them down upon a paper no others are to see it is base and evil. It is as if we're speaking alone to know ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone. We have broken the law's the law say that men may not right unless the Council of Vocations bid them. So may we be forgiven? But this is not the only sent upon us. We have committed a greater crime. And for this crime there is no name. What punishment awaits us if it be discovered? We know not for no such crime has come in the memory of men and there are no laws to provide for it. It is dark here. The flame of the candle stand still in the air. Nothing moves in this tunnel. Save our hand on the paper. We are alone here under the earth. It is a fearful word alone. The law say that none among men may be alone ever and at any time for This is the greatest transgression and the root of all evil. But we have broken many laws and now there is nothing here. Save are one body and it s strange to see only two legs stretched on the ground and on the wall before us the shadow of our one head. The walls are cracked and water runs upon them. And thin threads without sound black and glistening us blood. We stole the candle from the larger of the home of the street sweepers. We shall be sentenced to 10 years in the palace of corrective detention if it be discovered. But this matters not. It matters only that the light is precious and we should not waste it to right when we need it for that work, which is our crime. Nothing matters. Save the work. Our secret are evil, are precious work. Still, we must also right for May the Council have mercy on us. We wish to speak for once to know ears but our own Our name is equality 7 to 5 to one as it is written on the iron bracelet which all men wear on their left risks with their names upon it We are 21 years old, we are six feet tall and this is a burden for there are not many men who are six feet tall. Ever have the teachers and the leaders pointed to us and frowned and said There is evil in your bones Equality 7 to 5 to one for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers. But we cannot change our bones nor our body. We were born with the curse that has always driven us to thoughts which are forbidden. It has always given us wishes which men may not wish. We know that we are evil but there is no will on us in no power to resist it. There is our wonder in our secret fear that we know and do not resist. We strive to be like all our brother men for all men must be alike. Over the portals of the Palace of the World Council there are words cut in the marble which we repeat to ourselves. Whenever we are attempt we are one in all and all in one there are no men but on Lee the Great we one indivisible and forever We repeat this to ourselves, but it helps us not. These words were cut long ago. There is green mold in the grooves of the letters and yellow streaks on the marble, which come from more years and men could count. And these words are the truth, for they are bidden on the Palace of the World Council and the World Council is the body of all truth. Thus, has it been ever since the great rebirth and farther back than that no memory can reach. But we must never speak of the times before the great rebirth else were sentenced to three years in the Palace of corrective detention. It is only the old ones who whisper about it in the evenings in the home of the useless, they whisper many strange things of the towers which rose to the sky in those unmentionable times and of the wagons which moved without horses and of the lights which burned without fine. But those times were evil. And those times passed away when men saw the great truth which is this that all men are one and that there is no will save the will of all men together. All men were good and wise. It is only we equality 7 to 5 to one We alone who are born with the curse, for we are not like our brothers. And as we look back upon our life, we see that it has ever been thus and that it has brought a step by step to our last supreme transgression our crime of crimes hidden here under the ground.
