The old slave was still sitting on the steps with the children; Arsinoe tossed them up one after the other, and whispered in each child's ear: "Cakes this evening!" and she kissed the blind child's eyes, and said: "You may come with me, dear little man. I will find a litter for Selene and put you in, and you will be carried home like a little prince."
As for you, Selene, I beg you to reflect seriously that I am your father, and that I forbid you to use this admonishing tone to me; you have accustomed yourself to it with the children and to them you may continue to use it.
"Be quiet, child," interrupted Hannah, patting the sick girl with a soothing hand, "you soon will learn how God takes care of you and that Another loves you." "Another," muttered Selene, and her cheeks turned crimson. She thought at once of Pollux, and asked herself why the story of her sufferings should have moved him so deeply if he were not in love with her.
Ask for Selene's sister and tell her what has happened; if you see her father tell him that I am taking care of his daughter, and that the physician strictly forbids her moving or being moved. But he must not know that Selene is one of us workers, so do not say a word about the factory before him.
Like his protagonist Arthur Rimbaud surely the most extraordinary poetic apparition of the nineteenth century Jules Laforgue accomplished his destiny during the period when most poets are moulding their wings preparatory to flight. He flew in youth, flew moonward, for his patron goddess was Selene, he her faithful worshipper, a true lunalogue.
"It is yours if you make a bid that suits me." "The light here comes the light!" exclaimed Gabinius, taking from the slave's hand the three-branched lamp which Selene had hastily supplied with a fresh wick, and he placed it, while he murmured to Keraunus, "By your leave," down on the centre of the mosaic.
Only lately my mother was telling me about you, and I thought you were a girl who might turn out just such a wife as a woman ought to be." "And now?" "Now, I know it for certain." "You may be mistaken." "No, no! your name is Selene, and you are as gentle as the kindly moonlight; names, even, have their significance."
Her cheeks had gained no color, but her eyes shone with a gentler and purer light which glorified the severe beauty of her features. As the girl approached the captain he fixed his eyes on her, and called out: "Hey! pale-face are you a Christian?" "Yes, my lord," replied Selene, and she went on quietly and indifferently with her brother.
"With Christians! my child is with Christians!" shrieked Keraunus, beside himself. "At once Arsinoe, at once come with me; Selene shall not stay a moment longer among that accursed rabble. Eternal gods! besides all our other troubles this disgrace too!" "Nay, it is not so bad as that," said Doris soothingly. "There are very estimable folks even among the Christians.
Who are you?" she asked, in a low voice. He rose quickly, and while he supported her as she attempted to rise and stand upon her feet, he said: "The gods be praised that you are still alive. Our big hound threw you down-and he has terrible teeth." Selene was now standing up, and face to face with the boy at whose last words she shuddered again. "Do, you feel any pain?" asked Antinous, anxiously.
