And there met with him the kings of Toldees and Arizim. And the King of Mondath in his Council said: "The call of the unappeased and hungry Sea (and at the word 'Sea' the three kings bowed their heads) lures every year out of our happy kingdoms more and more of our men, and still we know not the mystery of the Sea, and no devised oath has brought one man back. AND THERE MET WITH HIM THE KINGS OF TOLDIES AND ARISUM AND THE KING OF MANDOTH AND HIS COUNCIL SAID THE CALL OF THE UNAPPEASED AND HUNGRY SEA AND AT THE WORD SEA THE THREE KINGS BOWED THEIR HEADS LURES EVERY YEAR OUT OF OUR HAPPY KINGDOMS MORE AND MORE OF OUR MEN AND STILL WE KNOW NOT THE MYSTERY OF THE SEA AND NO DEVISED OATH HAS BROUGHT ONE MAN BACK
s eyes on Poltarnees, would answer sadly, "Till the gods forget," which means "Farewell." Now the king of Arizim had a daughter who played with the wild wood flowers, and with the fountains in her father's court, and with the little blue heaven-birds that came to her doorway in the winter to shelter from the snow. And she was more beautiful than the wild wood flowers, or than all the fountains in her father's court, or than the blue heaven-birds in their full winter plumage when they shelter from the snow. The old wise kings of Mondath and of Toldees saw her once as she went lightly down the little paths of her garden, and turning their gaze into the mists of thought, pondered the destiny of their Inner Lands. And they watched her closely by the stately flowers, and standing alone in the sunlight, and passing and repassing the strutting purple birds that the king's fowlers had brought from Asagéhon. When she was of the age of fifteen years the King of Mondath called a council of kings. T LOVED HIM SEEING HIS EYES ON POLTARNEY'S WOULD ANSWER SADLY TILL THE GODS FORGET WHICH MEANS FAREWELL NOW THE KING OF HARISON HAD A DAUGHTER WHO PLAYED WITH THE WILD WOOD FLOWERS AND WITH THE FOUNTAINS IN HER FATHER'S COURT AND WITH THE LITTLE BLUE HEAVEN BIRDS THAT CAME TO HER DOORWAY IN THE WINTER TO SHELTER FROM THE SNOW AND SHE WAS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE WILD WOOD FLOWERS OR THAN ALL THE FOUNTAINS IN HER FATHER'S COURT OR THAN THE BLUE HEAVEN BIRDS IN THEIR FULL WINTER PLUMAGE WHEN THEY SHELTER FROM THE SNOW THE OLD WISE KINGS OF MONDATHEN OF TOLDIES SAW HER ONCE AS SHE WENT LIGHTLY DOWN THE LITTLE PATHS OF HER GARDEN AND TURNING THEIR GAZE INTO THE MISTS OF THOUGHT PONDERED THE DESTINY OF THEIR INNER LANDS AND THEY WATCHED HER CLOSELY BY THE STATELY FLOWERS AND STANDING ALONE IN THE SUNLIGHT AND PASSING AND REPASSING THE STRUTTING PURPLE BIRDS THAT THE KING'S FOWLERS HAD BROUGHT FROM ASSEGAON WHEN SHE WAS OF THE AGE OF FIFTEEN YEARS THE KING OF MANDATH CALLED A COUNCIL OF KINGS
