They would certainly not like to live there now. Sir Bartholomew kindly allows me to quote him on this subject. I took down the words he used and read them over to him afterwards. "The Power," he said, "which controls the Near East controls the world. The Power which dominates the Cyrenian Sea holds the Near East in its grasp. The Island of Salissa is the keystone of the Cyrenian Sea.
To make him remain quiet Salammbo tried to frighten him with Lamia, a Cyrenian ogress. "But where is she?" he asked. He was told that brigands were coming to put him into prison. "Let them come," he rejoined, "and I will kill them!" Then Hamilcar told him the frightful truth.
The balm for secret sorrow is in the bosom of another burden, unselfishly assumed; and the Cyrenian of every age hath this for his hire, that, while he bends beneath another's cross, he is disburdened of his own. I found my old precentor weak, and failing fast, but "verra composed," as we say in New Jedboro. He welcomed me with a gentle smile.
I was called from all my own hopes and plans to take up this burden of another, and I did not let it drop. It seemed a grievous burden, but it has become my crowning joy. I did not know then, but I know now, that my day of humiliation was my day of highest blessedness. "I think of the Cyrenian Who crossed the city-gate, When forth the stream was pouring That bore thy cruel fate.
It is sometimes sombre, as in the tragic and dramatic "Simon the Cyrenian," and sometimes rich and flowerlike, but always charged with sentiment, and there is a curious fitness in it even when it is evidently unreal. These blues and purples and pale greens what crowd ever seemed clad in such twilight colors?
Your best plan will be to see Steinwitz about the matter. Steinwitz is managing director " "Quite so. I know him. Cyrenian Sea Steam Navigation Company." "His ships go there," said Sir Bartholomew. "I have no doubt that he will arrange for you to make the voyage comfortably. I may mention, between ourselves, that Steinwitz is interested in the success of the negotiations."
