"'In the name of holy Pasht, she made answer, 'to whom I make daily prayer. For, being a maid, she swore by the Goddess of Chastity, and being Meriamun, by the Goddess of Vengeance. "''Tis fitting thou should'st vow by her of the Cat's Head, he said, sneering. "'Yes; very fitting, she answered, 'for perchance she'll lend me her claws. Play thou, Prince Meneptah.
"Casper is intoxicated already with the mere fumes," retorted Bently good humoredly. "He's bound to fill a drunkard's grave sooner or later." "No; I never shall," chuckled the other. "I'm altogether too good natured to crowd the drunkard out." This sally was received with applause, and the glasses being filled, the usual toasts to the goddess Pasht and to art were drank.
Having read this letter, I looked at Porou who, standing on his hind legs, was licking the black face of Pasht, his divine sister. He looked at me, and I must confess that of the two of us he was the less astonished. I asked myself, "What does this mean?" But I soon gave up trying to understand.
The figures marked 49, 50, 52, 53, 57, are all representations of the popular Pasht; in 52 she wears the disk of the sun. And now the visitor may well pause before a fragment marked 58. This is a piece of the beard of the Great Sphinx. Peeping above the sands which surround the famous pyramids of Gizeh, is the upper part of a man-headed sphinx.
They did not discuss the matter now, but in the interval of silence each acknowledged to himself that to disband was best; and briefly each gave his assent; all soberly, some almost gruffly. And so it came about that the goddess Pasht lost her last band of followers, and the Pagans assembled no more forever. AS FALSE AS STAIRS OF SAND. Merchant of Venice; v. 2.
"Ah!" returned Herman smiling. "I often go to church when I am not too busy." "I hardly supposed that a Pagan was guilty of going to any church where he could not worship Pasht." "One can worship whatever deity he pleases in whatever temple, I suppose," was his rejoinder. "I'm catholic in my tastes. I do not so much mind what people worship, if they are only sincere about it."
I positively like these coffins, they are so faithfully made, and so black and stern, and polished to such a nicety, only to be buried forever; for the workmen, and the kings who were laid to sleep within, could never have dreamed of the British Museum. There is a deity named Pasht, who sits in the hall, very big, very grave, carved of black stone, and very ludicrous, wearing a dog's head.
"Generally they're said to be statues of the Goddess Pasht or Sehket but it's a riddle why the Amen-hotep person who built this temple to the goddess Mut should have put Sehket here. Sehket is in the trinity of Memphis and Mut in that of Thebes. And so some people say that this is not Pasht at all, but Mut herself, who was sometimes represented as lion-headed.
Naville also made researches at Tel Basta, the site of the Bubastis of the Greeks, the Pi Beseth of the Bible, and the Pi Bast of the Egyptians, which was formerly the centre of worship of the goddess Pasht and her sacred animal, the cat. The whole plan of the ancient temple was soon disclosed, the general outline of which bears much resemblance to that of the great Temple of San.
He was still staring a saturnine Pasht out of countenance. There was a pause. Then, "However were you able to think of it all?" said Arlee in slow wonder. "However were you able to think such an impossible thought as my imprisonment?" "Because I was thinking about you," said Billy. Suddenly his tongue ran away with him. "Incessantly," he added. She looked up at him.
