We drank sweet tea as his tale was told, In a garden of blue chrysanthemums.
While a drowsy swarming of gongs and drums Out of the sunset dreamily rolled.
But, as the murmur nearer drew, A fat black bonze, in a robe of blue, Suddenly at the gate appeared; Digitized by Google THE ABBIVAL 27 And close behind, with that evil grin, Was it Oreeping SiUy was it Oreeping Sinf The bonze looked quietly down and sneered.
Our guide I Was he sleeping? We could not wake him.
However we tried to pinch ...and shake him I Nearer, nearer the tumult came.
Till, as a glare of sound and flame, Blind from a terrible furnace door Blares, or the mouth of a dragon, blazed The seething gateway: deaf and dazed With the clanging and the wild uproar We stood; while a thousand oval eyes Gapped our fear with a sick surmise.
Then, as the dead sea parted asimder.
The clamour clove with a sound of thunder In two great billows; and all was quiet.
Gaunt and black was the palankeen Digitized by Google 28 THE ARRIVAL That came in dreadful state between The frozen waves of the wild-eyed riot Curling back from the breathless track Of the Nameless One who is never seen: The close drawn curtains were thick and black ; But wizen and white was the tall thin man As he rose in his sleep : His eyes were closed, his lips were wan, He crouched like a leopard that dares not leap.
