Prompt: : a view of the city beyond the dockside area. if shown, it pulsated, it glowed white in the early sunlight. buildings of limestone or plastered white with gesso. the buildings were frescoed and inlaid with bands and panels of vividly colored paints and mosaics, but the dominant effect was of a city so white, so nearly silver, that it almost hurt my eyes. from the top of every roof, every temple, every palace in the city, from every highest eminence projected a flagpole, and from every staff flew a banner. they were not squared or triangular like battle ensigns; they were pennants many times longer than they were broad. and they were all white, except for the colored insignia they bore. Those incredibly long banners of tenochtitlan were woven of feathers - feathers from which the quills had been removed and only the lightest down used for the weaving. the flags were intricately woven feathers of natural colors; egret feathers for the white grounds of the flags, and for the designs the various reds of macaws and cardinals and parakeets, and various blues of jays and herons, the yellows of toucans and tanagers. they were all the colors and iridescences that can come only from living nature, not from man-mixed paint pots. but most marvelous, those banners did not sag or flap, they floated. there was no wind that morning. the thousands of feather banners undulated gently, soundlessly magically, over all the towers and pinnacles of that magic-island city.
