Description

"She danced for the unseen spirits of the dead and the unborn and as she danced the spirits crowded the air around her, following the turn and spin of her feet and the slow, sure gestures of her arms. She sang the songs whose words no man understood, which she had learned syllable by syllable, long ago, from Thrar. A choir of priestesses hidden in the dusk behind the great double row of columns echoed the strange words after her, and the air in the vast ruinous room hummed with voices, as if the crowding spirits repeated the chants again and again." - from "The Tombs of Atuan" by Ursula K. Leguin. Illustration by Charles Vess.

This is Charles' original two-page illustration, "Dancing in the Temple of the Nameless Ones", from his wondrous collaboration with Ursula K. LeGuin on a special edition of "The Tombs of Atuan."
