Indeed how can she be who changed thus in an hour? Flesh and blood are not born of flame, Horace." "Are you sure that she was so born?" I asked. "Like the visions on the fire, may not that hideous shape have been but an illusion of our minds? May she not be still the same Ayesha whom we knew in Kor, not re-born, but wafted hither by some mysterious agency?" "Perhaps.
"We can never pluck our flowers twice," said he. "The flowers you gathered then are ghosts." "Not a bit," said she. "Here they are re-born," and she went as before from bush to bush and bank to bank, humming a strain of sailor song. They went under the trees on which he had fancied his heron's nest, and they looked at each other, laughing. "Wasn't I a young fool?" he asked.
It has frequently been observed that the majority of popular beliefs still extant in our different provinces are of Celtic origin. A not less remarkable fact is the strong tinge of naturalism dominant in these beliefs. Nay more, every time that the old Celtic spirit appears in our history, there is to be seen, re-born with it, faith in nature and her magic influences.

He did not show much taste for learning, but he loved to keep birds. Old Wang was still strong and healthy.
"The woman who wrote the Sherd, whom Ayesha said was the Egyptian princess my wife two thousand years ago? Amenartas re-born?" I nodded. "I think so. Why not?
