CHAPTER III THE DEATH BRIDAL OF NITOCRIS The day of the bridal of Nitocris the Queen with Menkau Ra the Conqueror had come and gone in a blaze of golden splendour. CHAPTER THREE THE DEATH BRIDAL OF NIDICHRUS THE DAY OF THE BRIDAL OF NIDICHUS THE QUEEN WITH MANKHURAH THE CONQUEROR HAD COME AND GONE IN A BLAZE OF GOLDEN SPLENDOR
d Nitocris, her hands still resting lightly on his shoulders, her head lying on his breast, her eyes upturned, the star-beams swimming in their luminous depths. "Nefer, beloved, answer me!" The stars grew dim, and the solid floor of the terrace shook under his feet. He bent his head and laid his lips upon hers. "Thou art answered, O Nitocris--even unto death and the life beyond!" Her lips returned his kisses--kisses that were curses--and then for many minutes they conversed in hurried whispers. At last she slipped out of his arms and left him, his lips burning from the clinging touch of hers, and his heart cold with a fear that was greater than the fear of death. He clasped his hands to his temples and looked up at the coldly shining Isis Star, and through the silence there came to his soul in the speech that is never heard by the ears of flesh the fateful words: "Once only is it given to mortals to look into the eyes of Isis. He who looks and turns his gaze aside has found and lost."
