Only a week ago the victorious armies of Khem had brought their spoils and their prisoners across the eastern frontier. ONLY A WEEK AGO THE VICTORIOUS ARMIES OF KEN HAD BROUGHT THEIR SPOILS AND THEIR PRISONERS ACROSS THE EASTERN FRONTIER
rriors of the Land of Khem, now that Rameses had passed from the black banks of the Nile to the shores of Amenti, and his mummy was waiting the summons of the High Gods which should recall it to life in the fulness of time and the dawn of the Everlasting Peace. Never had even the Land of Khem seen a fairer dawn. The East shone in silver, blushed into amethyst, and flamed in gold as the Restorer of all things rose bright and glorious in sudden splendour over the City of the White Wall. Standing on the flat roof of the temple of Ptah, he looked about him in the first flush of this morning which had just dawned, big with fate, not only for him and his beloved, but also for the Land of Khem, and perchance for the world. The great river was spreading its annual blessings over the land. The waters were broadening out into wide shining sheets, and the slow, soft music of their rippling was stealing along the great water-walls of the temples and palaces which formed the river-front of Memphis. OF ALL THE WARRIORS OF THE LAND OF KEM NOW THAT RAMESES HAD PASSED FROM THE BLACK BANKS OF THE NILE TO THE SHORES OF AMMUNTY AND HIS MUMMY WAS WAITING THE SUMMONS OF THE HIGH GODS WHICH SHOULD RECALL IT TO LIFE IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME AND THE DAWN OF THE EVERLASTING PEACE NEVER HAD EVEN THE LAND OF KEM SEEN A FAIRER DAWN THE EAST SHONE IN SILVER BLUSHED INTO AMETHYST AND FLAMED IN GOLD AS THE RESTORE OF ALL THINGS ROSE BRIGHT AND GLORIOUS IN SUDDEN SPLENDOR OVER THE CITY OF THE WHITE WALL STANDING ON THE FLAT ROOF OF THE TEMPLE OF PTAH HE LOOKED ABOUT HIM WITH THE FIRST FLUSH OF THIS MORNING WHICH HAD JUST DAWNED BAKED WITH FATE NOT ONLY FOR HIM AND HIS BELOVED BUT ALSO FOR THE LAND OF KEM AND PERCHANCE FOR THE WORLD THE GREAT RIVER WAS SPREADING ITS ANNUAL BLESSINGS OVER THE LAND THE WATERS WERE BROADENING OUT INTO WIDE SHINING SHEETS AND THE SLOW SOFT MUSIC OF THEIR RIPPLING WAS STEALING AMONG THE GREAT WATER WALLS OF THE TEMPLES AND PALACES WHICH FORMED ON THE RIVER FRONT OF MEMPHIS
