And indeed I passed by their dwellings,
While their ruins lay as plunder in the hand of decay.

So I halted until it cried out from exhaustion—
my worn-out mount—and the riders persisted in reproaching me.

And my eye looked back; then, when they vanished
from its sight—the ruins—my heart looked back.
