It is a tale which they narrate in Poictesme, telling of what befell Perion de la Foret after he had been ransomed out of heathenry. They tell how he took service with the King of Cyprus.
And it is the paradox of the Crusades that though the Saracen was superficially more civilized than the Christian, it was a sound instinct which saw him also to be in spirit a destroyer. In the simpler case of northern heathenry the civilization spread with a simplier progress.
The painted Asan were, in all conscience, food for wonder: but over and above these dozen surprising pastimes, the books of Anaitis revealed to Jurgen, without disguise or reticence, every other far-fetched frolic of heathenry.
They seemed an ill-assorted pair, but Thorgils was plainly trying to be friendly with every one in reach of him, and soon I forgot him in the pleasantness of all that went on at our table. However, by and by Howel said to Nona suddenly, in a low voice: "Look yonder at the Norseman. He must be talking heathenry to yon priest, for the good man seems well-nigh wild. What can we do?"
What can they think is the matter with him?" said she to the old nurse. "That his wit's just addled; may be wi' unbelief and heathenry," quoth she. "Then why can't they say so?" And the heaven, and the sea, and the rocks, and the vales re- echoed "Why indeed?" But the doctors never heard them.
Be certified of this, that their fleet of fourteen galleys comes to land on the morrow. Much evil hast thou done to them; much evil will they do to thee, and avenge them of their wrongs. In an ill day you betrayed their brother to his death: in an ill day you set the crown on your head; in an ill day, to your own most bitter loss, you entreated this Saxon heathenry to your help.
A cloud, whether of disgust or disappointment, now hung upon every brow, and there was open murmuring at the cruelty and heathenry of the show. Hypatia was utterly unnerved. Orestes alone rose to the crisis. In a well-studied oration he declared that Heraclian the African was conquerer of Rome, and a roar of hired applause supported him.
All that thickly wooded and sparsely tenanted countryside was stiff with a bitter and brittle frost. The black hollows between the trunks of the trees looked like bottomless, black caverns of that Scandinavian hell, a hell of incalculable cold. Even the square stone tower of the church looked northern to the point of heathenry, as if it were some barbaric tower among the sea rocks of Iceland.
Wherefore does one of her priests come in this heathen robe to such a place as this on the eve of midsummer?" "Seeing that none but the initiated may know what truth the ancient faith holds, it is not for you to say that this is heathenry, Prince," Morfed answered more quietly than I expected.
"Yield yourselves quietly, and no harm shall come to you." "Let them not go, Thane," said one of his men, "else will they be off to Ina, and there will be trouble. You mind what you promised us." Now, Owen heard this, and the words told him that he was right in thinking that there was more than heathenry in the affair.
