One day I had been pacing to and fro the hall, which was deserted; and the sight of the armor and portraits dumb evidences of the active and adventurous lives of the old inhabitants, which seemed to reprove my own inactive obscurity had set me off on one of those Pegasean hobbies on which youth mounts to the skies, delivering maidens on rocks, and killing Gorgons and monsters, when Juba bounded in, and Blanche came after him, her straw hat in her hand.
I will collect afterwards and complete what I have already written respecting the Pegasean and Gorgonian legends, noting here only what is necessary to explain the central myth of Athena herself, who represents the ambient air, which included all cloud, and rain, and dew, and darkness, and peace, and wrath of heaven.

Begin, ye Sicilian Muses, begin the dirge. Both were beloved of the fountains, and one ever drank of the Pegasean fount, but the other would drain a draught of Arethusa.
In conclusion, all classes of men who are conspicuous by the tonsure or the sign of clerkship, against whom books lifted up their voices in the fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters, are bound to serve books with perpetual veneration. It transcends the power of human intellect, however deeply it may have drunk of the Pegasean fount, to develop fully the title of the present chapter.
What I am about to say is ridiculous, but has been testified to by authors who are not ridiculous. A poor woman set out on the journey, when a goose, filled with I do not know what instructions, clearly exceeding the laws of her own dull nature, followed her. Lo, rumor, flying on Pegasean wings, filled the castles and cities with the news that even geese had been sent by God to liberate Jerusalem.
