These observations, therefore, necessarily contain the germs of a mysterious system equally favored by Plato and by Epicurus; we will leave it for you to meditate upon, enveloped as it is in the veil which enshrouds Egyptian statues.
The great seat of the religion of the druids was Armorika, and, above all, Britain; there existed the most powerful of their sacerdotal colleges there were celebrated the most secret of their mysteries. It is wondrous thing, that religion of the ancient druids! A solemn mystery enshrouds it all the efforts of modern science cannot lift the veil.
"Begone, you dreamers!" he says, louder than the stormy sky where the flames are red as blood, louder than the falling flashes and the harrowing wind, louder than all the night which enshrouds us and yet continues to stone us. He is seized with a frenzy which bares his soul as naked as his neck:

Not an answer hushed and still is all Does the veil, then, e'en on monarchs fall, Which enshrouds their humble flatt'rers glance?
