I gazed into a silver cauldron - I saw strange gods - one drowned a man - another, antlered, grasped a serpent -
Musicians blew carnyces - a man sized fish bore a warrior upon its back - proud horses carried long legged riders -
Haunting music played -
Small gold coins were as yellow as buttercups -
White bones were still encircled with rich ornaments -
Beautiful symbols were as yet uncoded -
I felt the breath of a hidden world upon my face -
