We found a lump of gold wrought like a maize ear.
What was beyond that, by itself under trees, we found an ancient, broken, true wall, stone and lime.

The stones were great ones, set truly, with care.

The wall was old; the remainder of house, if house or temple there had been, broken from it.

Now the forest overran all.

We did not know when or by whom it was built, and we found no more like it.
But here was true masonry.
