turret of the apex surrounded by Nimrod and his archers. These last ones, meanwhile, observed

Fifty-Third Day

Now is midday, the precise moment in which Shamash is situated on the top. The deep
voice of one of the fifty Hierophants talks to the beautiful woman Initiate, speaking with short
phrases, pronounced with the cadence of a ritual prayer:

–O Princess Isa:

The fate of the race is in thine hands.

Through many lands we’ve travelled

And countless countries we’ve crossed,

And we arrive hither,

Since we left the sacred mountains

Where we had born twice

And upon its peak Kus gathered us

And he spake about the Primordial Times.
