Winding veils round their heads, the women walked on deck. They were now moving steadily down the river, passing the dark shapes of ships at anchor, and London was a swarm of lights with a pale yellow canopy drooping above it. There were the lights of the great theatres, the lights of the long streets, lights that indicated huge squares of domestic comfort, lights that hung high in air.

No darkness would ever settle upon those lamps, as no darkness had settled upon them for hundreds of years. It seemed dreadful that the town should blaze for ever in the same spot; dreadful at least to people going away to adventure upon the sea, and beholding it as a circumscribed mound, eternally burnt, eternally scarred. From the deck of the ship the great city appeared a crouched and cowardly figure, a sedentary miser.

Avvolgendosi i veli intorno al capo, le donne camminavano sul ponte. Ora si stavano muovendo con regolarità lungo il fiume, superando le sagome scure delle navi all’ancora, e Londra era uno sciame di luci con un baldacchino giallo pallido che pendeva sopra di esso. C’erano le luci dei grandi teatri, le luci delle lunghe strade, luci che indicavano grandi piazze di comodità domestica, luci che pendevano alte nell’aria.

Nessuna oscurità si sarebbe mai posata su quelle lampade, come nessuna oscurità si era posata su di loro per centinaia di anni. Sembrava terribile che la città ardesse per sempre nello stesso punto; terribile almeno per chi parte per l’avventura sul mare e lo vede come un tumulo circoscritto, eternamente bruciato, eternamente sfregiato. Dal ponte della nave la grande città apparve una figura accovacciata e codarda, un avaro sedentario.
