When the knight appears and kills her monster, he loses his halo for Andromède, who cherishes her monstrous guardian. Perseus, a prig disgusted by the fickleness of the Young Person, flees, and the death of the monster brings to life a lovely youth put under the spell of malignant powers who promptly weds his ward.

I don't know which to admire the most, the Hamlet or the Lohengrin, the Salomé or the Persée et Andromède.

Thus the dazzling effect of a luminous throng was produced without jostling or overcrowding, by particles, it might almost be said, isolated in the void. Their aspect was strongly characteristic of the Andromede family of meteors. "They invariably," Mr. Denning wrote, "traversed short paths with very slow motions, and became extinct in evolved streams of yellowish sparks."

And who would not succumb to the languorous melancholy of Andromède, not chained to a rock but living on the best of terms with her monster, who calls her Bébé! The sea bores her profoundly. She looks for Perseus, who doesn't come; the sea, always the sea without a moment's weakness; in brief, not the stuff of which friends are made!

Qualis Thesea iacuit cedente carina Languida desertis Gnosia litoribus, Qualis et accubuit primo Cepheia somno Libera iam duris cotibus Andromede, Even when one comes to them fresh from Virgil, lines like these open a new world of sound.

Its projection, then, on the night of its discovery, upon a point of the Biela-orbit was by a mere caprice of chance. North America, nevertheless, was visited on November 23 by a genuine Andromede shower.
