The north and the west and the south are good hunting
ground, but it is forbidden to go east. It is forbidden to go
to any of the Dead Places except to search for metal and
then he who touches the metal must be a priest or the son
of a priest. Afterwards, both the man and the metal must
be purified. These are the rules and the laws; they are
well made. It is forbidden to cross the great river and look
upon the place that was the Place of the Gods-this is
most strictly forbidden. We do not even say its name
though we know its name. It is there that spirits live, and
demons-it is there that there are the ashes of the Great
Burning. These things are forbidden-they have been
forbidden since the beginning of time.

Explanation:

The short story "By the Waters of Babylon", by Stephen Vincent Benét, narrates John's journey to New York City. John is a priest and son of a priest in a post-apocalyptic future. New York City is known by his people as the Place of the Gods. After the Great Burning - which is later revealed to have been some sort of bomb or another weapon of mass destruction - the world and the people who still inhabit it have returned to a primitive, superstitious state. They believe metal to be cursed and the people who once lived upon this Earth to have been gods.

In this specific excerpt, the details that seem to reveal the setting are:

"the north and the west... are good hunting ground"

John eventually goes east, crosses the Hudson and reaches New York. He then realizes that the gods were actually people, and that their greed was what caused their own destruction.
