The mountain fortressقلعه

A tall fortress of heavy bricks on top of the mountain, toward which the little girl in black goes; its shadows seem to come alive as the old inhabitants of Ray.

Where the text names it

P133.L03

از کنار کوه گذشتم، در یک محوطهٔ کوچک و باصفایی رسیدم که اطرافش را کوه گرفته بود، روی زمین از بته‌های نیلوفر کبود پوشیده شده بود، و بالای کوه یک قلعهٔ بلند که با خشت‌های وزین ساخته بودند دیده می‌شد.

I passed beside the mountain and came to a small and pleasant enclosure surrounded by mountains. The ground was covered with blue morning-glory bushes, and on top of the mountain a tall fortress built of heavy bricks could be seen.

P134.L05

ناگهان ملتفت شدم دیدم از پشت درخت‌های سرو یک دختر بچه بیرون آمد و به طرف قلعه رفت.

Suddenly I noticed a little girl coming out from behind the cypress trees and going toward the fortress.

P135.L07

به نظرم آمد که در این ساعت همهٔ سایه‌های قلعه روی کوه جان گرفته بودند و آن دخترک یکی از ساکنین سابق شهر قدیمی ری بوده.

It seemed that at that hour all the shadows of the fortress upon the mountain had come to life and that the girl was one of the former inhabitants of ancient Ray.
