“SMRT:   Oho-ho!
Otkud vi u sektoru?
Što se zadržavate,
Apolone Febe, tu?
Zar opet omalovažavate
ingerencije donjih službi?
Nije li dovoljan presedan
bilo Admetovo izuzeće,
odjel sudbine grubo izmanipuliran?
Zar se sada, je li, okreće
vaša oružana sila
i u obranu predmetne žene
koja je sama odlučila
provesti značajne izmjene
u planu umiranja supruga?”

At the same moment the ground gave way, and with a cry she fell out of the wood. Light and beauty enveloped her. She had fallen on to a little open terrace, which was covered with violets from end to end.

“Courage!” cried her companion, now standing some six feet above. “Courage and love.”

She did not answer. From her feet the ground sloped sharply into view, and violets ran down in rivulets and streams and cataracts, irrigating the hillside with blue, eddying round the tree stems, collecting into pools in the hollows, covering the grass with spots of azure foam.

“Prudence: And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to Mount Zion? Christian: Why, there I hope to see Him alive that did hang dead on the cross; and there I hope to be rid of all those things that to this day are in me an annoyance to me: there they say there is no death, Isa. 25:8; Rev. 21:4; and there I shall dwell with such company as I like best. For, to tell you the truth, I love Him because I was by Him eased of my burden; and I am weary of my inward sickness. I would fain be where I shall die no more, and with the company that shall continually cry, Holy, holy, holy.”
