The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony. J 



When he sees this ring, perhaps one 

 will open to you with a word the door of 

 that chamber, where sits enthroned in 

 his magnificence the Desire of all 

 Nations, who is known only to the 

 Sages." When he had thus spoken, the 

 vision vanished, but the bridal gift that 

 I still held in my hand, shewed me that 

 it had not been a mere dream. It was 

 of gold, but to me more precious than 

 the most prized of all metals. Unto you 

 I will shew it when I am permitted to 

 see your faces, and to converse with you 

 freely. Till that earnestly wished-for 

 time, I bid you farewell. When I 

 behold you, the sight will be to me more 

 pleasant by far than that of Mercury, or 

 my Genius. I, your humble servant and 

 worshipper, shall easily recognize you by 

 your auroral necks and ambrosial locks, 

 which do give forth a fragrant odour.
