Proud Man

by Katharine Burdekin

An androgynous traveler—initially known as the Person, then as Verona, and finally as Gifford Verona— communicates with the subhumans called Englishmen about a time thousands of years in their future.
To return to my dream, this person thought that either you or I should go among these subhumans, and yoiu, though willing to go, were a shade less willing than I. So it was decided that I was to go, and when I asked this person, who had been thinking to us about these creatures, how I should come to them, seeing that they were either on another planet or in another time, the way thither was made clear to me, for all I had to do was to wish to be there with them, and there, wherever or whenever it was, I should be.

I am much inclined to think it was not on another planet, but on the same planet in another time.
