1 He felt the city turn to its thousands of doors.
2 We figured you were in the river, when the helicopter cameras swung back in over the city.
3 And we are out here, and the city is there, all wrapped up in its own coat of a thousand colors.
4 Eventually, I could put out ears into all parts of the city, with various men, listening and evaluating.
5 If there isn't something in that legend for us today, in this city, in our time, then I am completely insane.
6 The track that came out of the city and rusted across the land, through forests and woods, deserted now, by the river.
7 Then the lights switched back to the land, the helicopters swerved over the city again, as if they had picked up another trail.
8 He went out to look at the city and the clouds had cleared away completely, and he lit a cigarette and came back to bend down and look at the Hound.
9 Now there was only the cold river and Montag floating in a sudden peacefulness, away from the city and the lights and the chase, away from everything.
10 Complete darkness, not a hint of the silver world outside, the windows tightly shut, the chamber a tomb-world where no sound from the great city could penetrate.
11 He searched his pockets, the money was there, and in his other pocket he found the usual Seashell upon which the city was talking to itself in the cold black morning.
12 And he knew that he was also the old man who talked to him and talked to him as the train was sucked from one end of the night city to the other on one long sickening gasp of motion.
13 The thought had been with him many times recently but now he remembered how it was that day in the city park when he had seen that old man in the black suit hide something, quickly, in his coat.
14 It was a flaking three-story house in the ancient part of the city, a century old if it was a day, but like all houses it had been given a thin fireproof plastic sheath many years ago, and this preservative shell seemed to be the only thing holding it in the sky.
15 The way the clouds moved aside and came back, and the way the stars looked, a million of them swimming between the clouds, like the enemy disks, and the feeling that the sky might fall upon the city and turn it to chalk dust, and the moon go up in red fire; that was how the night felt.
16 And then the voices began and they were talking, and he could hear nothing of what the voices said, but the sound rose and fell quietly and the voices were turning the world over and looking at it; the voices knew the land and the trees and the city which lay down the track by the river.
17 He remembered a farm he had visited when he was very young, one of the rare few times he discovered that somewhere behind the seven veils of unreality, beyond the walls of parlors and beyond the tin moat of the city, cows chewed grass and pigs sat in warm ponds at noon and dogs barked after white sheep on a hill.
