Genessano--He says: "I was seeking for a copy of Brohûû Lûitszen,
when I thought some one inquired as to what I searched for. I was
about to reply, 'I am searching for Brohûû Lûitszen,' when I felt
impelled to turn my gaze in the direction of the voice, and I call
the Gods to witness that I thought I saw a strange woman, unlike any
I ever have beheld. It was not that her appearance was forbidding,
but there was in her face or form or expression that which I cannot
explain or describe, and in an instant I was so overawed that I lost
consciousness. I am ashamed of my weakness for, of course, it was a
freak of my imagination." They ask him how the woman was clothed, and
he replies that she was very singularly clothed, but that really he
cannot describe her garments. He also says that he and his auditors
have heard the strange stories relating to Prince Dano and some of his
friends, and he prays the Gods that he may not find himself similarly
afflicted. Now he says, "I feel myself quite restored, and am convinced
that the seizure was due to an overtaxed brain, for lately I have been
too studious and must desist from such imprudence." Although the youth
assumes a careless air, it is very apparent that he is ill at ease,
and his fellow employees and visitors to the library express concern
over what has occurred. From their conversation it is evident that the
experiences of Dano, Lēta, Favēon and other Sensitives have gained wide
publicity, and from their peculiar nature are exciting attention and
greater unrest in the minds of Ento's sorrowful peoples. A favorable
omen, friends, a favorable omen of the swiftly coming dawn of the
new religion, and as the day draws near I scarcely can restrain my
impatience.
De L'Ester--As little can we, but the hours are swiftly flying and well
may our hopes rise high, for surely, surely the light is penetrating
the Spiritual consciousness of many of Ento's children.
Gentol[a:], we cannot attempt even a limited description of the vast
collection of books, manuscripts and many curious objects. You must
content yourself through storing up memories of many things which in
coming years you may recall with pleasure to yourself and possibly to
others.
Gentola--I wish that I might retain memories of all that I experience
during these journeys to Ento, but always when I try to recall scenes
and the appearance of peoples and places it is like attempting to
revive illy remembered dreams. Now I gaze on this great library, on
these magnificently beautiful marbles, bronzes and many lovely and
interesting objects and I know that when I shall have returned to Earth
it all will appear as "the baseless fabric of a vision."
