"But I know the thoughts of thy heart, O Lord and Master, white and fragrant as the lily-buds that opened to-day. Has thy wish changed?" "Nay, my wish is even the same, but it is not permitted to a man of two wives to be a follower of the spirit God." Dong-Yung had known it all along. This knowledge came with no surprise. It was she who kept him from the path of his desire!
And when Hermas turned to look for him, he was lying like a broken flower on the sand. They carried the boy in a litter to the House of the Golden Pillars, summoning the most skilful physician of Antioch to attend him. For hours the child was as quiet as death. Hermas watched the white eyelids, folded close like lily-buds at night, even as one watches for the morning.

Foh-Kyung moved closer.
For all answer, Sah-luma flung himself desperately at the monarch's feet. "Zephoranim!" he cried again ... "I tell thee she is mine! ... mine, as truly mine as Love can make her! Oh, she is chaster than lily-buds in her sweet body! ... but in her spirit she is wedded wedded to me, Sah-luma, whom thou, O King, hast ever delighted to honor!
Its sluggish current scarcely moves the autumn leaves showered upon it by a few maples that lean over the Assabet as one of its branches is named. Yellow lily-buds and leathery lily-pads tessellate its surface, and the white water-lilies pale, proud Ladies of Shalott bare their virgin breasts to the sun in the seclusion of its distant reaches.
