I must come back; on this journey I have already seen so much on the way here some day I will come out direct and paint this one scene, and perhaps one or two in the Shwey Dagon Pagoda "if I'm spaired," as they say in the lowlands, instead of knocking under the table.
Dagon by an appearance of interest; so, after a few moments, Mrs. Dinks seated herself in a large easy-chair opposite that lady, who was still looking at her, shook her dress, glanced into the mirror with the utmost nonchalance, and finally, slowly drawing out her own glasses, raised them to her eyes, and with perfect indifference surveyed the enemy.
It is solidly built of bricks, and contains material enough to build a complete modern town of 50,000 people. These Buddhist dagobas of Ceylon have the bell-shape form, and serve the same purpose as the Shwe Dagon in Rangoon, viz., to shelter relics of the Buddhas.
"For your father, the Liberal party is mostly Jahve the hope of the children of light. For me the Liberal party is mostly Dagon either made a god of by Philistines, or groveling before a stronger God Mammon. But that don't matter. I can behave myself." Marion bent over her work. "Can't I behave myself?" he repeated, threateningly, as he moved nearer her. She looked up at last.
Then Dagon drew forth from the cloth the goblet refused by Prince Ramses. "I do not even wish that Thou shouldst have the goblet in the house and give the prince to drink from it. Give this goblet of pure gold to Gideon, whom I love as my own brother. And thou, Sarah, tell thy father these words: 'Thy twin brother Dagon, the unfortunate tenant on the lands of Prince Ramses, is ruined.
When the Philistines had taken the ark of the Hebrews captive, as I said a little before, they carried it to the city of Ashdod, and put it by their own god, who was called Dagon, as one of their spoils; but when they went into his temple the next morning to worship their god, they found him paying the same worship to the ark, for he lay along, as having fallen down from the basis whereon he had stood: so they took him up, and set him on his basis again, and were much troubled at what had happened; and as they frequently came to Dagon and found him still lying along, in a posture of adoration to the ark, they were in very great distress and confusion.
A couple of days later Dagon sailed down with his goblet to Sarah's house. He was arrayed in robes interwoven with gold; in his thick beard were glass globulets from which issued perfumes, and he had fastened two plumes to his head. "Beautiful Sarah," began he, "may Jehovah pour on thy family as many blessings as there are waters in the Nile at present!
Know, then, that I am the collector of his worthiness Dagon, the first banker in Memphis. And if Thou hast not grown pale yet, know that the worthy Dagon is the agent and the friend of the erpatr, may he live through eternity! and that Thou hast committed violence on the lands of Prince Ramses; to this my people will testify." "Then know this," interrupted the prince; but he stopped suddenly.
In the second he visits Dalila in the Vale of Sorek, tells her the secret of his strength, and is betrayed into the hands of the Philistines. The third act shows Samson, blind and in chains, grinding at a mill. The scene afterwards changes to the temple of Dagon, where a magnificent festival is in progress.
Thieves, robbers!" Anger boiled up in the prince, it is unknown why, but he calmed himself quickly. This seemed strange to Ramses himself, who up to that hour had not thought self-restraint needed in his case in presence of any one. "And then," said the heir on a sudden, "wilt thou, worthy Dagon, loan me fifteen talents?" "O Astoreth! Fifteen talents?
