"Welcome, Ma Rim[=o]n," replied the Queen, in a voice which filled him with many distant and strange memories, "but let there be no talk between us of honour, for in this state there is neither honour nor dishonour, neither ruler nor subject, neither good nor evil, since all these are absorbed in the Perfect Knowledge. WELCOME MARI REPLIED THE QUEEN IN A VOICE WHICH FILLED HIM WITH MANY DISTANT AND STRANGE MEMORIES BUT LET THERE BE NO TALK BETWEEN US OF HONOUR FOR IN THIS STATE THERE IS NEITHER HONOR NOR DISHONOR NEITHER RULER NOR SUBJECT NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL SINCE ALL THESE ARE ABSORBED IN THE PERFECT KNOWLEDGE
yes met and they looked at each other across the gulf of fifty centuries. Impelled by an irresistible impulse coming from whence he knew not, he clasped them in his, and said, apparently by no volition of his own, in the Ancient Tongue: "Ma-Rim[=o]n greets Nitocris, the Queen! What hath he done that he should be once more so highly honoured?" At that moment a carriage came by along the road quite close to them. Two of its occupants were looking straight towards them. They passed without taking the slightest notice, as they must have done had they seen such a marvellous figure as that of the Queen.
