As Anman sat broodingand piningfor his lost self, one of Swimmer’s creeksidestories rushed into his memory with a great urgency and attractiveness. Swimmer claimed that above the blue vaultof heaven there was a forest inhabited by a celestialrace. Men could not go there to stay and live, but in that high land the dead spirit could be reborn. Swimmer described it as far and inaccessibleregion, but he said the highest mountains lifted their dark summitsinto its lower reaches. Signs and wonders both large and small did sometimes make transitfrom that world to our own. Animals, Swimmer said, were its primary messengers. Inman had pointed out to Swimmer that he had climbed Cold Mountain to its top, and Pisgah and Mount Sterling as well. Mountains did not get much higher than those, and Inman had seen no upper realmfrom their summits.
英曼坐在那儿沉思,苦想他迷失的自我,突然斯云麦说过的一个河畔故事迫不及待地闪现在他的记忆里,极具诱惑力。斯云麦曾说过蔚蓝的天穹之上有一座森林,那里是神灵的栖息地。凡人无法涉足、存息,但死去的灵魂可以在那片天上净土上获得重生。他把那说成是个遥不可及的地方,可也提过最高的山峦上高耸黑黝的峰顶可以触及神地的底部边缘。大大小小的奇迹异象有时会从神地反映到尘世间来,而山上的动物是其主要的信使。英曼曾告诉过斯云麦,说他曾爬到冷山的顶端,还有毗斯迦山和斯特灵山。这些几乎是最高的山了,可他从来没在这些山的山顶看到过什么神地。
