For the dead delight in the occupations which pleased them in the time of their living upon the earth. There was Tityus suffering eternal pains because he had sought to violate the honour of Latona as she passed from Pytho into Panopeus.
Only the people of Thebes, stricken with terror, bore the news to Queen Niobe, where she sat with her seven daughters. She would not believe in such a sorrow. "Savage Latona," she cried, lifting her arms against the heavens, "never think that you have conquered. I am still the greater." At that moment one of her daughters sank beside her.
The casement closed, and an instant afterwards the general came out. "Who are you?" "We belong to the Norfolk Rangers, general, and have been detached on service in the interior; we have only just made our way back." "How am I to know your story is true?" the general asked sharply. "You may, perhaps, remember, sir, we landed from the 'Latona, and you kindly lent us horses to accompany you."
By going closer to that disc I should not see the silver bow, nor by retreating in time should I come to the moment when the sun and moon were actually born of Latona. The elements are incongruous and do not form one existence but two, the first sensible, the other only to be enacted dramatically, and having at best to the first the relation of an experience to its symbol.
But the point on which the poet has insisted throughout is, once more, the conduct of Apollo. What is to be made of a god who seduces and deserts a mortal woman; who suffers her to expose her child, and leaves her in ignorance of its fate? Does he not deserve the reproaches heaped upon him by his victim? "Child of Latona, I cry to the sun I will publish thy shame!
Then Latona picks up poor Diana's bow and arrows that have fallen from her during her encounter with Juno, and Diana meanwhile flies up to the knees of her father Jove, sobbing and sighing till her ambrosial robe trembles all around her.
But these clowns persisted in their rudeness; they even added jeers and threats of violence if she did not leave the place. Nor was this all. They waded into the pond and stirred up the mud with their feet, so as to make the water unfit to drink. Latona was so angry that she ceased to mind her thirst.
"That is how the Anglo-Saxons of the 19th century treat the beautiful Diana, the blonde Phoebe, the amiable Isis, the charming Astarte, the Queen of Night, the daughter of Latona and Jupiter, the younger sister of the radiant Apollo!" It has already been pointed out that the direction followed by the projectile was taking us towards the northern hemisphere of the moon.
"So he refuses to furnish any more data?" Don Telmo was asking. "Absolutely," said the student. "And he assures me that the reason for the name of Fermin de Nunez de Latona not appearing in the parish register was forgery; that this was effected by a certain Shaphter, one of Bandon's agents, and that afterwards the curates took advantage of it to acquire possession of some chaplaincies.
"The Latona! I have only been appointed to her one month, after an action in which the Harpy took a large corvette, and am ordered home with despatches to England. We sailed yesterday evening from Gibraltar, were becalmed the whole night, and attacked this morning by the gun-boats." "How is Captain Wilson, sir?" "I believe he is very well, but I have not seen him."
