" "Beneficent goddess, " he cries, "I accept thy presage, I will obey thee; I will go, divine virgin, whither thy voice calls me!" The next day, at the earliest streak of dawn, he pro- ceeded to the cavern. He found its entrance under im- mense rocks which the tree of Jupiter has covered wdth its branches. On the threshold of the chasm, he im- molates a black sheep which he offers as a sacrifice to powerful Cybele. Then, he burns the thuja and the cypress in honor of Erebus and of the divinitie...s of the dark shores. Suddenly there arises a voice which over- throws the subterranean echoes; it is the sacred voice of the goddess! The nymphs of the earth who preside over the met- als, were occupied at that moment in uniting liquid sulphur with the silvered wave of mercury, a marvelous Page Thirty-eight amalgam which, hardened by the bath, transforms itself into pure gold. All ready, for this divine work, un- known to mortals, and they alloyed a hundred rays of flame and a hundred molecules of burnt air with two hundred germs borrowed either from the bowels of the earth or the bosom of the waters.
