"What other world did Hator refer to?" asked Maskull. "One where grandeur reigns, Maskull, just as pleasure reigns here." "Whether grandeur or pleasure, it makes no difference," said Maskull. "The individual spirit that lives and wishes to live is mean and corrupt-natured." "Guard you your pride!" returned Spadevil.
If he could only forget the cries of that man whom they had covered with boiling pitch! "We may begin," said Mefres. Pentuer went to the middle of the amphitheatre and clapped his hands. From the low buildings a crowd of female dancers issued forth, and priests came out with music, also with a small statue of the goddess Hator.
When leaving the temple of Hator, and after his interview with Hiram, he began to think of war with Asia; that was merely thinking that Egypt needed population, and the pharaoh needed treasure; and since war gave the easiest means to win them, and since, besides, it agreed with his need of glory, Ramses conceived the plan of warfare.
I wish to see how long the famous frost man can withstand the breath, smiles and perfume of a girl. Hator said no word, either then or all that day. He stood till sunset like a tree trunk, and thought of other things. Then the girl grew passionate, and shook her curls. She rose from where she was sitting she looked at him, and touched his arm; but he did not see her.
How happens it that you alone of all my creatures have knowledge of it? But Hator spat at his feet, and said, 'You lie, Shaping. All have knowledge of it. You, with your pretty toys, alone obscure it from our view. Shaping asked, 'What, then, am I? Hator answered, 'You are the dreamer of impossible dreams. And then the story goes that Shaping departed, ill pleased with what had been said."
Hator also once conversed with Shaping." "With the Maker of the World?" said Maskull thoughtfully. "With the Maker of Pleasure. It is told how Shaping defended his world, and tried to force Hator to acknowledge loveliness and joy.
A handsome girl, who knew sorcery, caused a bridge to be constructed across which men and women might pass to it. Having by a false tale drawn Hator on to this rock, she pushed at the bridge with her foot until it tumbled into the depths below. 'You and I, Hator, are now together, and there is no means of separating.
"The truth is simple, even for the simplest man." "Do you destroy Hator, and all his generations, with a single word?" "I destroy nature, and set up law." A long silence followed. "My probe is double," said Spadevil. "Suffer me to double yours, and you will see as I see." "Come you here, you big man!" said Catice to Maskull. Maskull advanced a step closer.
Shaping smiled, and said, 'How comes it that your wisdom is greater than that of the Master of wisdom? Hator said, 'My wisdom does not come from you, nor from your world, but from that other world, which you, Shaping, have vainly tried to imitate. Shaping replied, 'What, then, do you do in my world? Hator said, 'I am here falsely, and therefore I am subject to your false pleasures.
"Even if he were drunk I do not deny that the prince is frivolous, and a rioter; but a blasphemer." "So, too, did we think," said Mentezufis. "And we were so sure of knowing his character that when he returned from the temple of Hator we ceased even to exercise control over him." "Thou wert sparing of gold to pay men for watching," said Mefres.
