We are angry one with another and turn from our anger again, but the wrath of the gods is enduring. Chu bu remembered and Sheemish did not forget. They spake as we do not speak, in silence yet heard of each other, nor were their thoughts as our thoughts. WE ARE ANGRY ONE WITH ANOTHER AND TURN FROM OUR ANGER AGAIN BUT THE WRATH OF THE GODS IS ENDURING CHEBAH REMEMBERED AND SHE DID NOT FORGET THEY SPAKE AS WE DO NOT SPEAK IN SILENCE YET HEARD OF EACH OTHER NOR WERE THEIR THOUGHTS AS OUR THOUGHTS
as it were revealed to the mind of Chu-bu, that there was dirt upon the head of Sheemish. And Chu-bu spake unto Sheemish as speak the gods, moving no lips nor yet disturbing the silence, saying, "There is dirt upon thy head, O Sheemish." All night long he muttered again and again, "there is dirt upon Sheemish's head." And when it was dawn and voices were heard far off, Chu-bu became exultant with Earth's awakening things, and cried out till the sun was high, "Dirt, dirt, dirt, upon the head of Sheemish," and at noon he said, "So Sheemish would be a god." Thus was Sheemish confounded. And with Tuesday one came and washed his head with rose-water, and he was worshipped again when they sang "There is also Sheemish." And yet was Chu-bu content, for he said, "The head of Sheemish has been defiled," and again, "His head was defiled, it is enough." And one evening lo! there was dirt on the head of Chu-bu also, and the thing was perceived of Sheemish. It is not with the gods as it is with men.  WHEN THE THIRD DAY WAS COME AND THE NIGHT THEREOF IT WAS AS IT WERE REVEALED TO THE MIND OF JABAH THAT THERE WAS DIRT UPON THE HEAD OF SHEMISH AND SHABBAH SPAKE UNTO SHEMISH AS SPEAK THE GODS MOVING NO LIPS NOR YET DISTURBING THE SILENCE SAYING THERE IS DIRT UPON THY HEAD O SHEISH ALL NIGHT LONG HE MUTTERED AGAIN AND AGAIN THERE IS DIRT UPON SHEMISH'S HEAD AND WHEN IT WAS DAWN AND VOICES WERE HEARD FAR OFF CHEBAH BECAME EXULTANT WITH EARTH'S AWAKENING THINGS AND CRIED OUT TILL THE SUN WAS HIGH DIRT DIRT DIRT UPON THE HEAD OF SHEMISH AND AT NOON HE SAID SO SHEMISH WOULD BE A GOD THUS WAS SHEISH CONFOUNDED AND WITH TUESDAY ONE CAME AND WASHED HIS HEAD WITH ROSE WATER AND HE WAS WORSHIPPED AGAIN WHEN THEY SANG THERE IS ALSO SHEISH AND YET WAS CHEBAH CONTENT FOR HE SAID THE HEAD OF SHEMISH HAS BEEN DEFILED AND AGAIN HIS HEAD WAS DEFILED IT IS ENOUGH AND ONE EVENING LO THERE WAS DIRT ON THE HEAD OF CHEBAH ALSO AND THE THING WAS PERCEIVED OF SHEMISH IT IS NOT WITH THE GODS AS IT IS WITH MEN
