The eyes of Silencieux were wide open, and from her lips hung a dark moth with the face of death between his wings. THE EYES OF SELA WERE WIDE OPEN AND FROM HER LIPS HUNG A DARK MOTH WITH THE FACE OF DEATH BETWEEN HIS WINGS
, a light was shining and a voice was calling. "Mother," it called, "little Mother. I am waiting for you. Here, little Mother. Here by the water-lilies we could not gather." Beatrice, following the voice, stepped along the causeway and sank among the lilies; and as she sank she seemed to see Antony bending over the pond, saying: "How beautiful she looks, how beautiful, lying there among the lilies!" On the morrow, when they had drawn Beatrice from the pond, with lilies in her hair, Antony bent over her and said:— "It is very sad—Poor little Beatrice—but how beautiful! It must be wonderful to die like that." And then again he said: "She is strangely like Silencieux." Then he walked up the wood, in a great serenity of mind. He had lost Wonder, but she lived again in his songs. He had lost Beatrice, but he had her image—did she not live for ever in Silencieux? So he went up the wood, whistling softly to himself—but lo! when he opened his châlet door, there was a strange light in the room.  THAT AS IT SEEMED TO BEATRICE A LIGHT WAS SHINING YES A LIGHT WAS SHINING AND A VOICE WAS CALLING MOTHER IT CALLED LITTLE MOTHER I AM WAITING FOR YOU HERE LITTLE MOTHER HERE BY THE WATER LILIES WE COULD NOT GATHER BEATRICE FOLLOWING THE VOICE STEPPED ALONG THE CAUSEWAY AND SANK AMONG THE LILIES AND AS SHE SANK SHE SEEMED TO SEE ANTONY BENDING OVER THE POND SAYING HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE LOOKS HOW BEAUTIFUL LYING THERE AMONG THE LILIES ON THE MORROW WHEN THEY HAD DRAWN BEATRICE FROM THE POND WITH LILIES IN HER HAIR ANTONY BENT OVER HER AND SAID IT IS VERY SAD POOR LITTLE BEATRICE BUT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT MUST BE WONDERFUL TO DIE LIKE THAT AND THEN AGAIN HE SAID SHE IS STRANGELY LIKE SEALAJO THEN HE WALKED UP THE WOOD IN A GREAT SERENITY OF MIND HE HAD LOST WONDER BUT SHE LIVED AGAIN IN HIS SONGS HE HAD LOST BEATRICE BUT HE HAD HER IMAGE DID SHE NOT LIVE FOR EVER IN SELA SO HE WENT UP THE WOOD WHISTLING SOFTLY TO HIMSELF BUT LO WHEN HE OPENED HIS SHALLOW DOOR THERE WAS A STRANGE LIGHT IN THE ROOM
