But though her voice sounded firm, she herself was not cool and insensible as Orcus which this place, which was filled with the fumes of incense and weighed upon his senses, much resembled for he had felt her fingers tremble under his, and when he went up to her, to help her, her heart beat no less violently and rapidly than his own.
The latter caused a litter to be constructed by his followers, and carried the young Carthaginian away to his village, which was situated at the foot of the hills on the banks of the river Orcus. Here he was handed over to the care of the women.
And indeed, when we find ourselves among those full presentations of experience, or real objects, to which the body belongs since the body is only an objectified will, the shape which the will assumes in the material world it is difficult to let our bodies be guided, not by those presentations, but by a mere image of them, by cold, colourless ideas, which are related to experience as the shadow of Orcus to life; and yet this is the only way in which we can avoid doing things of which we may have to repent.

Zeus must appear to-day in all his glory; And if Saturnia should on that account Find out the path to Orcus JUNO. From Sidon to Athens the trumpet of fame Shall ring with no other but Semele's name!
