And how a low sunset always reddened the sea and lit the magic isle and never turned to night, and how someone sang always and endlessly to lure the soul of a King who might by enchantment pass the guarding reefs to find rest on the pearl island and not be troubled more, but only see sorrows on the outer reef battered and broken. AND HOW A LOW SUNSET ALWAYS REDDENED THE SEA AND LIT THE MAGIC ISLE AND NEVER TURNED TO NIGHT AND HOW SOMEONE SANG ALWAYS AND ENDLESSLY TO LURE THE SOUL OF A KING WHO MIGHT BY ENCHANTMENT PASS THE GUARDING REEFS TO FIND REST ON THE PEARL ISLAND AND NOT BE TROUBLED MORE BUT ONLY SEE SORROWS ON THE OUTER REEF BATTERED AND BROKEN
ither ate nor spake. Once he put out his hand from under his cloak and touched a blossom among the flowers upon the table and the blossom fell. And Pattering Leaves came in and danced again, and the King smiled, and Pattering Leaves was happy though she had not the wisdom of the prophets. And in and out, in and out, in and out among the columns of the Hall went Summer Lightning in the maze of the dance. And Silvern Fountain bowed before the King and danced and danced and bowed again, and old Intahn went to and fro from the cavern to the King gravely through the midst of the dancers but with kindly eyes, and when the King had often drunk of the old wine of the elder Kings he called for Dream of the Sea and bade her sing. And Dream of the Sea came through the arches and sang of an island builded by magic out of pearls, that lay set in a ruby sea, and how it lay far off and under the south, guarded by jagged reefs whereon the sorrows of the world were wrecked and never came to the island. WAS HIDDEN WHO NEITHER ATE NOR SPAKE ONCE HE PUT OUT HIS HAND FROM UNDER HIS CLOAK AND TOUCHED A BLOSSOM AMONG THE FLOWERS UPON THE TABLE AND THE BLOSSOM FELL AND PATTERING LEAVES CAME IN AND DANCED AGAIN AND THE KING SMILED AND PATTERING LEAVES WAS HAPPY THOUGH SHE HAD NOT THE WISDOM OF THE PROPHETS AND IN AND OUT IN AND OUT IN AND OUT AMONG THE COLUMNS OF THE HALL WHEN SUMMER LIGHTNING IN THE MAZE OF THE DANCE AND SILVER FOUNTAIN BOWED BEFORE THE KING AND DANCED AND DANCED AND BOWED AGAIN AND OLD ANTON WENT TO AND FRO FROM THE CAVERN TO THE KING GRAVELY THROUGH THE MIDST OF THE DANCERS BUT WITH KINDLY EYES AND WHEN THE KING HAD OFTEN DRUNK OF THE OLD WINE OF THE ELDER KINGS HE CALLED FOR DREAM OF THE SEA AND BADE HER SING AND DREAM OF THE SEA CAME THROUGH THE ARCHES AND SANG OF AN ISLAND BUILDED BY MAGIC OUT OF PEARLS THAT LAY SET IN A RUBY SEA AND HOW IT LAY FAR OFF AND UNDER THE SOUTH GUARDED BY JAGGED REEFS WHEREON THE SORROWS OF THE WORLD WERE WRECKED AND NEVER CAME TO THE ISLAND
