I
told
him
not
;
that
it
was
never
cold
enough
for
that
,
because
our
nights
were
so
short
.
"'
Not
even
liquefy
?
'
"
I
was
about
to
say
'
No
,
'
but
then
it
occurred
to
me
that
one
part
at
least
of
our
atmosphere
,
the
water
vapour
of
it
,
does
sometimes
liquefy
and
form
dew
,
and
sometimes
freeze
and
form
frost
--
a
process
perfectly
analogous
to
the
freezing
of
all
the
external
atmosphere
of
the
moon
during
its
longer
night
.
I
made
myself
clear
on
this
point
,
and
from
that
the
Grand
Lunar
went
on
to
speak
with
me
of
sleep
.
For
the
need
of
sleep
that
comes
so
regularly
every
twenty-four
hours
to
all
things
is
part
also
of
our
earthly
inheritance
.
On
the
moon
they
rest
only
at
rare
intervals
,
and
after
exceptional
exertions
.
Then
I
tried
to
describe
to
him
the
soft
splendours
of
a
summer
night
,
and
from
that
I
passed
to
a
description
of
those
animals
that
prowl
by
night
and
sleep
by
day
.
I
told
him
of
lions
and
tigers
,
and
here
it
seemed
as
though
we
had
come
to
a
deadlock
.
For
,
save
in
their
waters
,
there
are
no
creatures
in
the
moon
not
absolutely
domestic
and
subject
to
his
will
,
and
so
it
has
been
for
immemorial
years
.
They
have
monstrous
water
creatures
,
but
no
evil
beasts
,
and
the
idea
of
anything
strong
and
large
existing
'
outside
'
in
the
night
is
very
difficult
for
them
...

The

more

He
talked
with
his
attendants
,
as
I
suppose
,
upon
the
strange
superficiality
and
unreasonableness
of
(
man
)
who
lives
on
the
mere
surface
of
a
world
,
a
creature
of
waves
and
winds
,
and
all
the
chances
of
space
,
who
can
not
even
unite
to
overcome
the
beasts
that
prey
upon
his
kind
,
and
yet
who
dares
to
invade
another
planet
.
During
this
aside
I
sat
thinking
,
and
then
at
his
desire
I
told
him
of
the
different
sorts
of
men
.
He
searched
me
with
questions
.
'
And
for
all
sorts
of
work
you
have
the
same
sort
of
men
.
But
who
thinks
?
Who
governs
?
'
"
I
gave
him
an
outline
of
the
democratic
method
.
"
When
I
had
done
he
ordered
cooling
sprays
upon
his
brow
,
and
then
requested
me
to
repeat
my
explanation
conceiving
something
had
miscarried
.
"'
Do
they
not
do
different
things
,
then
?
'
said
Phi-oo
.
"
Some
,
I
admitted
,
were
thinkers
and
some
officials
;
some
hunted
,
some
were
mechanics
,
some
artists
,
some
toilers
.
'
But
all
rule
,
'
I
said
.
