Petals of Twilight

Petals Of Twilight by Charles Francois Guillermot is a book appearing in Deus Ex.

Quote
...And it is told that he made his way through their streets

at night, crawling through their many windows and crouching in

their gardens, moving

through the sewers beneath their cobbled roads and

slipping over their railings.

Watched by their cats and the roosting pidgeons of their city,

yet wary of their slumbering dogs, he went. They would not see

him, nor wake as he drew near,

but would only shudder, softly calling out the names of their

gods in sleep.

Restless, they tossed as he passed under the window like an errant lover fleeing

dawn.

And by morning light he was gone, away from that place, and

moved on to another

world.
