Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Medium--This is a large, almost square room, elegantly, yet rather
scantily furnished; that is, it is not overfurnished. The ceiling is
lofty, of the tint of old ivory, and decorated in a delicate design of
wreaths and sprays of foliage and flowers. The walls also are ivory
tinted, but of a deeper shade than the ceiling, and are decorated in
designs harmonizing with those of the ceiling. On the highly polished
floor, which is of some light, rose colored wood, are fine Oriental
looking rugs, and there is a very handsome divan, and some richly
upholstered chairs, and a large, beautifully carved wood table, and a
massive dressing bureau, which is built into the wall, and on it
are many pretty toilet articles, some of which have a very familiar
appearance. Near the one lofty, wide, front window, in an ornamental
tub, is a large growing plant, which looks like some species of palm,
but is unlike any palm I know of. It bears an enormous truss of lovely
scarlet flowers, which give out a fragrance resembling that of the
hyacinth. I am pleased that it is to be included in the illustrations
of Ento's flora.
[Illustration: RUVACC[A:] PLIMOS]
De L'Ester--It is not related to the palm family. Observe carefully the
forms of both calyx and flower, and you will consider its Ento name,
Ruvacc[a:] plimos, quite appropriate. You may name it trumpet flower.
Now, madame, you will proceed.
Medium--How shall I describe the sleeping occupant of this beautiful
couch? I am at a loss for words that might do justice to this
revelation of Ento female loveliness. Allow me to be silent, De
L'Ester, while you, who are more competent than am I, shall attempt the
impossible.
De L'Ester--As you will, madame, though I confess to an unwillingness,
to attempt through words to convey an idea of the appearance of
this extremely beautiful woman. The invasion of the privacy of her
apartment, to you, seems an impertinence. But that you may learn many
things pertaining to the Entoans, we must use means at our command, so
I think we may be pardoned for this intrusion.
The woman sleeping upon this shell shaped couch is young, and indeed
"tall, and divinely fair." Below a wide, shapely forehead, shaded by
flossy curls, long, silken lashes fringe white eyelids concealing
large, luminous blue eyes. A profusion of golden brown hair lies in
curling, waving masses, over snowy pillow, and bare, blue veined,
white throat. Her complexion is as fair and rosy as pink rose petals,
for this is not one of Ento's dark skinned beauties, but one of a
Northland race. In her sleep she dreams and smiles, her slightly parted
lips revealing a hint of two rows of pearls, in keeping with this shell
shaped couch, so closely inlaid with pearl that one can imagine it the
former abode of some great ocean creature and the white fleecy covering
of its present occupant the foam of storm tossed waters.
Fair dreamer, may you long experience joyous awakenings to happy days
and happier years!
