Selene, now known as Martha, paid no heed to the crowd, but with her blind brother Helios, now called John, went calmly on her way which led from the raised bank down to the landing-quay.
The reflected beams from the mirrors, struck upward into the dome overhead. The helios up there were humming and sputtering loudly. Beyond the circle of intense white light in which Georg was standing, the spectators sat in gloom behind the mirrors. Maida had not come. The Skylan Director, impatient ordered a woman to go for her.
We will transfer the twins, Helios and Selene, the sun and the moon, from heaven to earth; they must become mortals Greeks. I will not transplant them to the garden of Epicurus, but to another, where the air is more bracing.
It was not the widow but the little blind boy who had won her to Christianity. The child's influence had proceeded in a strange course. In the first instance the promises of the slave Master that Helios should some day meet his father again in a shining realm among beautiful angels had a powerful effect on the blind child's tender heart and vivid imagination.
We are not limited to a study of the prakritic laws of the village fathers, nor yet to the etheric laws of the supervisors of Helios county, as scientists say, nor even to the state laws of Alcyone; only the manasic laws of the Universe limit our material studies in that direction.
"There we sat, witnesses of the most glorious marvels of the Most High, and I, in shameless idolatry, seemed to see before me the chariot of Helios with its glorious winged-horses, snorting fire as they went, and Helios himself in the guise of Hermas, with gleaming golden hair, and the dancing Hours, and the golden gates of the night. Accursed rabble of demons!
Their father is gone, quite gone, but we will never, never forget him." "Are there any angels with red wings?" asked the youngest little girl. "Oh! I want to be an angel!" cried Helios, clapping his hands. "And can the angels see?" "Yes, dear little man," replied Mastor, "and their eyes are wonderfully bright, and all they look upon is beautiful."
Helios clung to her closely, her loudly uttered prayer was one with his, and neither of them saw or heard anything more of what befell them. The blind boy had a vision of a distant but glorious light, the maiden of a blissful life made beautiful by love, as she was flung to the ground in front of the statue of Hadrian, and the excited mob rushed upon her and her faithful little brother.
And so for hours.... Glaucon never knew how long they thus drifted. The Solon had been smitten very early in the morning. She had foundered perhaps at noon. It may have been shortly before sunset—though Helios never pierced the clouds that storm-racked day—when Glaucon knew that the Barbarian was speaking to him.
He never says no to anything, and it does taste so good. We're peasants, and have been using the axe and the hoe, so we want something to eat. Have you seen our house? We built it ourselves. Selene, Helios, Jotape, my future wife, and I yes, I! They let me help, and we finished it alone, all alone! Everything is here. We shall build the shed for the cow to-morrow.
