In the temple of Denderah I fancied the lady Amanit ministering sadly, even terribly, to a lonely goddess, moving in fear through an eternal gloom, dying at last there, overwhelmed by tasks too heavy for that tiny body, the ultra-sensitive spirit that inhabited it. And now she sleeps one feels that, as one gazes at the mummy very profoundly, though not yet very calmly, the lady Amanit.
I thought of her as a poor woman, suffering as only women can in loneliness. In the museum of Cairo there is the mummy of "the lady Amanit, priestess of Hathor." She lies there upon her back, with her thin body slightly turned toward the left side, as if in an effort to change her position. Her head is completely turned to the same side. Her mouth is wide open, showing all the teeth.
The expression of "the lady Amanit" is very strange, and very subtle; for it combines horror which implies activity with a profound, an impenetrable repose, far beyond the reach of all disturbance.
