18 - The Moon | ||
The glow turns out to be moonlight and The Fool emerges to see that he is standing on a cliff ledge overlooking a bay. He has no idea where the other travellers have gone and realises he is lost. The moon has risen well above the horizon and casts a long reflection which seems to point directly at him. A heavy door swings shut over the tunnel opening to block him from returning the way he has come. He senses that he has been deceived. This is not the way. It is a dead end. Tired and fearful he falls asleep among the rocks. |
