When the solemn music of the midnight mass had been chanted over the noble company in the Church of the Sant'Apostolli, they left her lying in state before the altar of the Cappella Cornaro, while in the church, outside the chapel, the Ducal guards kept watch.
Silently each noble stepped up from his gondola, crossing himself devoutly and bowing his head as he joined the long, never-ending procession: like a phantom vision it swept through the mists each dark figure bearing its torch as if it were the soul of him above his head, casting a ghostly reflection, in lessening rays, down through the blackness gliding in air across the water, over the arch of the bridge which was all but invisible in the darkness and down through the narrow rio to the Church of the Sant'Apostolli the weird harmonies of the songs of the dead echoing faintly back through the windings of the rio, like half-heard whispers from the spirit land.
