'Stranger, why lingerest thou in this broken tomb, I seemed to hear from silent voices in that death of time; and still, when my thoughts seek the Mother-Church of Christendom, they go, not to St. John Lateran by the Roman wall, but are pilgrims to the low marshes, the white water lilies, the lone Byzantine ruin that even the sea has long abandoned.
Suddenly I heard a light footstep on the pebbles, and there stepped forth from behind a tall rock a young maiden in white, flowing robes. Full of dread I saw her coming towards me; for I knew that she was no mortal woman.

Cain's rallying from stupor CAIN. Leave me. ADAH. Why all have left thee. CAIN. And wherefore lingerest thou? Dost thou not fear? ADAH. I fear Nothing, except to leave thee. CAIN.

You too may now unforbidden spare the nation of Pergama, gods and goddesses to whomsoever Ilium and the great glory of Dardania did wrong.
Sweet air, that circlest round those radiant tresses, And floatest, mingled with them, fold on fold, Deliciously, and scatterest that fine gold, Then twinest it again, my heart's dear jesses, Thou lingerest on those eyes, whose beauty presses Stings in my heart that all its life exhaust, Till I go wandering round my treasure lost, Like some scared creature whom the night distresses.

"If thou lingerest here, lord, the tide will serve us little round Westmans," he said, eyeing Gudruda as it were with jealousy. "I come," said Eric. "Gudruda, fare thee well!" She kissed him and clung to him, but did not answer, for she could not speak.
Fare thee well, Inkosazana, till we meet without the wall," and he rose and went, accompanied by Hana and the other priests.
