I stopped very gently and sat upon the Time Machine looking round The sky was no longer blue North-eastward it was inky black And out of the blackness shone brightly and steadily the pale white stars Overhead it was a deep Indian red and starless And south-eastward it grew brighter to a glowing scarlet Where cut by the horizon Lay the huge hull of the sun Red and motionless The rocks about me were of a harsh reddish colour And all the trace of life that I could see at first Was the intensely green vegetation That covered every projecting point on their south-eastern face It was the same rich green that one sees on forest moss or on the lichen in caves Plants which like these grow in a perpetual twilight The machine was standing on a sloping beach The sea stretched away to the south-west To rise into a sharp bright horizon against the wan sky There were no breakers and no waves For not a breath of wind was stirring Only a slight oily swell rose and fell like a gentle breathing And showed that the eternal sea was still moving and living And along the margin where the water sometimes broke Was a thick incrustation of salt Pink under the lurid sky
