	Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black		Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black

	And the dark street winds and bends.		And the dark street winds and bends.

	Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow		Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow

	We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,		We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

	And watch where the chalk-white arrows go		And watch where the chalk-white arrows go

	To the place where the sidewalk ends.		To the place where the sidewalk ends.

	From somewhere at the bottom of a passage the smell of roasting coffee -- real coffee, not Victory Coffee -- came floating out into the street. Winston paused involuntarily. For perhaps two seconds he was back in the half-forgotten world of his childhood. Then a door banged, seeming to cut off the smell as abruptly as though it had been a sound.

			All the while that they were talking the half-remembered rhyme kept running through Winston's head. Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clement's, You owe me three farthings, say the bells of St Martin's!

			We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness

	IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH		IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

	Outside, even through the shut window-pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The blackmoustachio'd face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston's own. Down at streetlevel another poster, torn at one corner, flapped fitfully in the wind, alternately covering and uncovering the single word INGSOC. In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people's windows. The patrols did not matter, however. Only the Thought Police mattered.		Outside, even through the shut window-pane, the world looked cold.

			It was like a single equation with two unknowns. It might very well be that literally every word in the history books, even the things that one accepted without question, was pure fantasy.

			Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.

			Since then there had been other changes -- two, three, he could not remember how many. Very likely the confessions had been rewritten and rewritten until the original facts and dates no longer had the smallest significance. The past not only changed, but changed continuously. What most afflicted him with the sense of nightmare was that he had never clearly understood why the huge imposture was undertaken. The immediate advantages of falsifying the past were obvious, but the ultimate motive was mysterious. He took up his pen again and wrote:

			I understand HOW: I do not understand WHY.

			Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
