LUNA-MOOR

Denys Barry hat sliten, do quod dekhschatic ed pierno rig, ne gnohm. Eem ter kun is hat upernocten
ye id senst ker bim ghomens, ed ho aurt iom hules ye id moment kun « id ject » hat gwohmen ad
lambhnes iom. Bet, speit long ed rlienxien soks, nimen, in id conteit Meath, neter i weikers ni id
police, hat aiwo ghohden retrehve eys trace ni tod altern. Ed nun kreuso ob terror kun auro batracs
kwaxe in muraischa we sei wehso ye mekhtab in un isolen stet.
In America, quer is hiebit baygatasct, hieb io winto Denys Barry ed iom gratulim warm-ye kun is
kieup id veut castell os Kilderry, dormant prokwem id moor. Xiawngja, kun eent ies potis os
Kilderry, eys atav hieb wictum tod castell strugen pro id, yed meg diuper ed id vast baytel, tuich
pon generations, lent-ye gadriebh. Barry mi scripsit ops-ye pos sien reiken do Erin : sub eyso jusay,
iawert tors restahr ub ein pos ein ed id castell ex greis petra retrohv sien awo splendor ; ghedip
slohnk ub kam prever engwn ia restauret murs ed i nowngmins bliegh iom de bringhus tsay id vetus
suawakt med eys gold algven ocolo ia mars. Bet sem dieno naos gwohm ed, instet blaghe iom, i
nowngmins mwaungsour kam kay skape un balstehmen. Ye tod moment is mi scripsit kay me
prehge ke gwohm ad vide iom. Is eet meg mon in id castell : nimen con quel tolke, ploisko i nov
khadims ed iens orbaters is hieb gwehmiht nordtos.
Origin tom quant naos, confidit Barry bi me yant id prest vesper, eet id moor. Eet lient ed io hieb
arriven do Kilderry unte un schungjin soleurehp ; id waurngold beluc id glend iom clins ed iom
mischken ed id blou ios moor ep-yod, ter, twis, medsu uno smulk insule, un stragno golden ruine
samlik uni specter. I nowngmins os Ballyhough me hieb maunen : sigwreer od Kilderry eet hantet
ed io krus protievol vidend-ye regwe ia bulanda tors ios castell. Barrys wogh me skohpt ye id
station os Ballyhough (Kilderry esti dalg ud id railvia) ed i weikers, aun kaure de id wogh ni de iom
choffeur, un nordtos wir, hieb gwohmt ad wehkwe me yant i hieb matht od gwahsim Kilderry. Ed ye
id vesper enderghens Barry mi explie to hol.
I nowngmins hieb likwt Kilderry ob Barry sa-turs id moor. Albatta kiem is profund-ye Erin, lakin
hieb America prect iom : detestit vide lustum tod schungjin rewos quetos ghohd bihe extragen ne tik
torf sonstern semschi nov araszi, ed ia legends ed superstitions ios landios ne emoveer iom. Kun i
nowngmins refuseer hehlpe iom poskwo, ant eys gwaukania, mutawik wiropeku do Ballyhough, is
tik-ye glih de to ed tiey i po nordtos orbaters. Quan eys khadims likweer iom ep ir roig, is tiey i ye
id sam weidos. Yed eet gwit meg trist con ti quant leuds qui ei eent tarnien. Itak hieb is me prohcto
ke gwohm.
Manthus ma i landsleuds hieb mwaungsout, ioschi biglih, irghi baysas eent ios aiwo vaghst,
stragnstios ed absurdstios gensios. Betrohveer un legend yeji-yod un daunosdrukh, kwitor ios moor,
mukiem in id guway ruine io hieb dyohrct ep id pelegv ye soleurehp. Eet narret od luces diens ter
unte aunluna nocts ed od un srig wind blahsit ter menxu id noct eet warm. Eentwert kathalika un
imaginar petrawastu immerso sub id mayu surface ed drukhs oiswehbhend uper wed. Bayna ta
legends eent oin frequent de-yod eet mutlak samstohmt : sekwent-yod, quel deursiet harme id
immense subrudh muraisch we turses id bihiet balstohmt. Eent rounas, iey i nowngmins, ne-ya
tohrbeer bihe aunkohldert ; rounas kekehlmen pon tawoun hieb hihn Partholòns purts unte ia
fabuleus yars cis historia. In id « Lebor Gabála Érenn », toywert sunus im Hellens hieb quanti bihe
begrabhen in Tallaght, yed ies geronts os Kilderry sigwreer un weiko hieb esen gahaben dank iam
meundiv, sien protectrice ; itak tik widuclins covohr id i mensci os Nemed hieb gwohmen ex
Skythia in ira trigim vecels.
Ta eent ia gossips qua hiebeer pussiren i weikers ad linkwes Kilderry ed io pau stieum od Barry
hieb refuset klues i. Lakin archeologia maung interessit iom ed is bohd perichehxe id tursen moor.
Is hieb ops visitet id kwit ruine ios pelegv : eet okwivid-ye meg aw ed nel-ye samkwohkit quo eet
daydey trohft in Erin ; yed eet pior gerger yoitkwe khiek bihe revelen id zaman od idso splendor. Ia
teursorbats vahr mox inkape ; ies nordtos orbaters vahr spolye id glendo moss ed idso subrudh vreik
ex id banto moor. Neti bihient vis ia micri kiautpavet spruts ni ia sakwn blou selsa.
Id safer hieb esto strakeihnd ed kun Barry, qui hieb tolken unte un part ios noct, hieb zalohgen, meg
swohpskwim. Un khadim duxit me do mien kamer, in un torel uperhangend id weik, id moor ed id
nieber plain. Ud mien fensters, io vis, mekhtabbeluct, ia silent doms in-ya, pon i nowngmins hieb
mwaungsoun, eeweikneunt ies orbaters. Io vis kathalika ia parwoikskyrk samt ids awo spice ed ter,
ocolo id moor, id specterkwit ruine ep ids pelegv. Kun vahsim narce, credihsim aure dalgi muzlim
primitive ed vagh-ye musical swons qua, ob id srehtstand do-yod me dehr, influenceer mien
drehms. Bet posdini, kun io gohr, buim convict od io hieb sfallt, iaghi onirs io hieb haben eent meg
extraordinarer quem ia swons uns fluyer nocts. Fascinen ab id legends qua Barry mi hieb reportet,
io hieb drehmwandert in un pondost urb lyehgend in un fertil dal, quer quant, strads ed statues ex
marmor, villas ed temples, bevis id klewos Hellads. Quando narrim mien drehm ad Barry, wey bo
glih de, yed ego glih meis akster-ye ; isswo swurgh : iesghi orbaters is hieb gwehmihnens nordtos
hieb, ye id dwot ker, gohrn baygh sert, lent-ye ed difficil-ye, agend kamsei ies habient nel-ye
rahaten ; api eet woiden ies hieb quanti gwaht crovat aus perdini vesper.
Pre ed pos middien, spasserim saul in id sollucic weik, tolkend ex tid do tid con iens aunbesoyn
orbaters, menxu Barry eet besic med ia senst garwis. Toy wirs eent pau noroct ed quasi quanti
tengier aziyat ab un drehm quod ies neti mohm. Ibs narrim mieno. Tod interessit iens bad kun io
allus ia mysterieus melodias io hieb credihn aure. Tun ies me glaz curieus-ye ed mi sieyg od iesschi
mohm vagh-ye sem stragno music.
Unte id dorkwo, Barry mi mohld ia teursorbats inkapient uperposdini. Io ghaws de, ioghi sammel
regretim vide disparihes moss ed vreik, spruts ed selsa, ed stets meis akster-ye aunstohcskwim ia
awa rounas bedohlven sub id torf. Unte tod noct, mien drehms de fluyers ed peristyls gnohr un
brutal ed bfuxiong fin : io vis id dalcitad hihn ab tawoun, dind ia widuclins collapseer ed uper ia
cadavers in ia strads. Destruction gahieb tik id temple as Artemis, atopp id clin, quer lyohg ia silent
ed srig anua Cleis, lunaprysteria, samt un ivorcron ep sien argwrntkays.
Ho sayct od buim brusk-ye protiebudt, praedd os terror. Unte sem instants, io ne wois kweter io
swohp we wiekh, inghi mien aurs dar cliengh id swon iom fluyers ; bet kun io vis wardhe ep id
demped, sub ia glehdjbams ios meun, id ambhriss uns gothic fenster, io kohns od sollim ses wakh in
mien kamer os Kilderry ; dind un piern horlog swohn 2 saat ed io neti hieb dwoi. Id dalgtos swon
iom fluyers naghohd do me, kanend wild ed mysterieus melodias, evoquend faunendansa ep id
pierno Maenel. Erght, khakend narce, io klieup ub ed bistiup unte id kyal. Kjiawxieng trohcim kyid
nordfenster, quetos io vis id swehpend weik ed id plain ana id moor. Nel-ye spohcskwim dalger,
ioghi wohn bilhassa swohpye ; bet id swon iom fluyers naaziyiet me ed mi eet zaruri kwehre we
vide semject. Quosmed habiem io ghohdt suspece to quos vahsim ses weitwodd ?
In id immense mekhtabmadhen plain, dyisim un spectacle quod nel merti vidus id ghehdiet
myehrse. Ye id swon iom nays, quos echo ghohd do me unte id aykwos, un grupp em fantastic
silhouettes twohr foll-ye, effrenat-ye fordansen. Io mohn dei awens Sicilians qui plins pro Demeter
sub id karpstmeun ana id Cyane.
Id vast plain, id argwrntic mekhtab, ia dansend skadhs ed uper hol id acut ed monoton swon iom
fluyers quasi me sromihr. Nespekent mien dekhschat, lakin kieusim od id dwidel tim nestrakible,
kwecto mecanic dansers, eent ies orbaters io hieb crediht swehpe, menxu alter dwidel eet stragn
airlik albhdut creatures, unios nebestohmt buhsa, yed quas solleer ses sem pall ed pensive nayades
ex ia hanten iswors ios moor. Ne woidim kamdiu io nadyi tod spectacle kata mien fenster, in id
isolen torel, pre sehnke do un aundrehm swehpen, quetos me traxit id aghyernsol.
Mien prest bren, kun io gohr, buit bayane mien baysas ed observations ad Denys Barry, bet vidus ia
solbams qua tohr id eustfenster, buim convicto de id irrealitat os quo io hieb vis. Ho yando stragn
onirs, yed naiwo som kafi slabo pro credihes ia ; ye tod waurmen, me contentim med sprehge iens
orbaters quoy, gehrus meg sert, conserveer neid mehmen ios prever noct, ploisko tod meg vagh ios
music. Tod storia om drukhfluyers me aziyiet maung ed io dieum an i osyern churchours ne hieb
gwohmen in perodhia kay trouble id noct ed hante ia drehms im menscen. Lyt serter, vidend-ye
Barry chehxe eys plans in id bibliotheque (ia orbats dohlg inkaptum posdini), io spruv ye id prest
ker un suspecen tos paur quod hieb chasset i nowngmins. Bi semo negnoht sabab, tremblim quando
mi enfiell visum destruge id awo moor, ed ia rounas id kulk, ed io exmohn terrible spectacles
bedohlven in ids obscure ed aunbudmen anun.
 Mi kwohk bawlawo probehre do diewo solg rounas. Me lambh un brusk desire de trehve sem
sababo bi-yod linkwes id castell ed id weik. Io gwohm do submitte ta questions ad Barry med
kinayas, yed is iliey ed io ne durs nasprehge. Also natieycim kun id id regwos lahsit ia piern clins,
menxu Kilderry se transformit do un kwecto omineus goldrudh glest.
Buir ia noctwakyas druv au imaginar ? To woidsiem naiwo samt yakinia. Udleitent incontestable-ye
quanto ghehdt bihe exmohnt ep ardh au in id universe ; yed niosmed ghehdo explie ta wakyas sont-
ya gnohn ab quantens pon sont khatem. Io sgwohm aus, vagh-ye alarmen, khakend unte un khvil
narce, in id mysterieuso silence ios tor. Eet meg deusk, ob id meun discrohsc ed ne sollit wuses pre
prue. Lyehgend ep mien crovat, io mohn de Denys Barry ed de id fat ios moor oins kun dien proe-
gwehmiet. Io fujatan foll-ye fucskwim in id noct med Barrys wogh ed mwaungsoue do Ballyhough,
dalg ud id menacet araszi. Bet niercim pre dostringus mien project ed revis in onir id dalurb, srig ed
mortu sub un kafan ex hideuso skadh.
Aundwoi id acut swon iom fluyers protiebud me bet io ne vighieb to fauran. Quan io ghyien mien
okwi, io lyohg za id eustfenster, uperspohc-yod id moor ; ye tod gon sollit id meun wuses,
exspectim ghi vide ids luce se reflege ep id witer mur, yed io khiek previde id sehkwnd spectacle :
terkye eet luce ep id mur, bet ne tod ios meun. Ex id gothic fenster, un sammel daumost ed terrible
blindeihnd rudh luce miedh id kyal. Mien prest mov buit stragn in cid fall, bet tik in romans bihnt
parkwohrn ia exspecten dramatic gestes. Instet aunstehcskwe id surce tos nov luce, io vergih,
praedd uns panic terror, spehce kyid fenster ed kyopev-ye swetraxit mien roubes, samt id vagh ziel
os folossie ia kay fuges. Mehmo yaschi seizus mien revolver ed mien hat, bet pre id fin ios
aventure, io hieb lusen ambo, aun strehlus oins ni me kufyevs. Pos sem instant, id fascination ios
rudh erkwen uperwohndit mien dekhschat ed io snohg tiel id eustfenster kay vide quo wakyit exo.
Id steunen iom effrenat fluyers plehsit hol castell ed weik.
Uper id moor, un spleindos ex id ruine ios pelegv sikwit, scarlat ed buxianxu. Quosmed tar describe
id aspect iospet ruine ? Sollim ses foll unte tod instant : io vis id oistaue, intact ed splendid,
perambhto med majestueus colunns ; id entablement, quer se reflexeer flammes, kwohk tehre id
waurn kam tod uns temple atopp un ghyor. Id schrill swon iom fluyers buit stayg joinen ab tamburs.
In angst, io credih dyehrce dansend formes quom grotesk silhouettes wierdh ant id lamper marmor.
Id pondos eet ajib, ed habiem remant aunfin-ye in dyeia sei, levter quem ego, id swon iom fluyers
ne habiet kwecto brusk-ye oisum. Tremblend ob un paur curieus-ye blanden ad extase, io tohr id
circular kyal kyid nordfenster, quod uperspohc id weik ed id plain. Tun mien okwi pfwohng ob
surprise, kamsei ne habient ja dyin un extergena scene : in id plain laht ab un gargic rudh luce, ieg
perodh un cortege creaturen kam viden in coschmars.
Med un pwolsleidend pwolswehbhend gwayt, ias albhdut nayades rik lent-ye kyid sakwn wedor ed
id ruine ios pelegv, jamiyen kam ias danssters iom antique ceremonias. Niht ab id detestable swon
invisiblen fluyern ed obedeihnd uno mysterieus rythme, ias dahr znayc, med ir wandlik ed
bantowmeing brakhs, ei menegh iom orbaters quoy sohkweer ians kam kwauns, ghangend kam
blinds au folls, kwecto dribhen ab un kyopev yed irresistible diabolic force.
Kun ias nayades process inexorable-ye prosch id moor, io vis gwehme ex id castell, unte un dwer
stahndo meg ender mien fenster, un nov massaf em zigzaghant ed titubant sesens, kam makhmour
wirs. Stohmbeer unte id ghehrd ed un part ios village ed joineer in id plain id wadelnd agmen. Speit
id distance, io recognih fauran i nordtos khadims. Ithan dyohrc io id dusformen gastalt ios cokwios,
quospet biauria bihsit nukwt-ye tragic unte tod instant. Ed dar id horrible swon iom fluyers, sohkwn
ab tod iom tamburs. Arriven prosch id wed, ias nayades entreer id ein pos ein, graciu ed niem, ed
alters, aun aiwo nilente, sohkweer ians tetro kyopev-ye ed disprohp samt un gwehlen om dussaun
burbules, payn visible in tod scarlat luce. Kun is piwon cokwo, senstos tom pathetic caudaschen,
hieb sohnken gwaur-ye do id daunost vivair, ia fluyers ed tamburs tieyc, ia blindeihnd bams ex id

Io hieb taiper id pondos od io me strubh in un indescriptible chaos. Ne woidend kweter eem foll au
walmenos, swehpend au wakh, buim salven tik dank un rahim karakh. Credeihmi mehldus joking-
ye ad Artemis, Laton, Persephone ed Pluton. Vasyi classic mehmens ex mien yuwent oistigh tsay do
mien lipps ed id horror ios situation regohn in me suakohlen superstitions. Io vighieb esus
weitwodd ios total disparition uns weik ed io wois eem saul in id castell con Denys Barry, quos
deursia hieb suwen tod balstehmen. Mehnend-ye de iom, nov terrors hajoumeer me ed io me sis

intensitat ed kweit quem werds mankent kay describe ia ed quem som quasi bayaldissend kun som
mehnend de. Quanto ghehdo sayge est od is ses qui emiss ia hieb xiawngja esen mien prient.
Aundwoi wind ed heuls disbayaldissihr me unte tod atroce instant. Mehmo poskwo un foll drahsa
unte kyehrsen salls ed corridors ed, tehrus id ghehrd, un strehmghalvo fug in id noct. Buim

qua hieb tyohct unte mien fug, dwo insignificant facts qua yed nahantent me quando som saul

Feugend id balstohmen castell, io ieur, engwn id moor, un blosko quod per se hieb neid extraordinar
ed quod yed io ne hieb naiwo kwaht in Kilderry. Id stagnant wedor, tuntro alnos beghis quodkwe

Seid ex id stragno ruine ios pelegv tiel id meun strohc uno muzlim gwayderbam. In mien feber, io
credih visum stighes lent-ye, ep tod bleid wegh, uno minc ed convulgen skadh, un vagh skadh quod

skadho tengicit pro mien formohnto ment uno mustring portrait, un inconceptible coschmar
caricature, un blasphem effigie tos qui hieb esen Denys Barry.
