de you wise? Tell me your secret, Sphinx,—for mine!— The mystic word that from afar God spake and made you rose and star, The fiat lux that bade you shine. While Antony read, Beatrice's face grew sadder and sadder. When he had finished she said:— "It is very beautiful, Antony—but it is not written for me." "What can you mean, Beatrice? Who else can it be written for?" "To the Image of me that you have set up in my place." "Beatrice, are you going mad?" "It is quite true, all the same. Time will show. Perhaps you don't know it yourself as yet, but you will before long." "But, Beatrice, the poem shows its own origin. Has your image blue eyes, or curiously coiled hair—" "Oh, yes, of course, you thought of me. You filled in from me. But the inspiration, the wish to write it, came from the image—" "It is certainly true that I love to look at it, as I love to look at a picture of you—because it is you—" "As yet, no doubt, but you will soon love it for its own sake. You are already beginning.
