with the will enervated, request in their hearts the fulfillment of Her Promise. And is in that
moment when, at a signal of the Hierophants, the music stopped abruptly, the dancers moved
aside quickly, and the Eyes of the Goddess opened to See her Chosen Ones. As a whiplash, a
horror shudder affected the Chosen Ones: the Eyes Lips had disappeared and the Goddess
contemplates them from the empty basins, with the form of the Apple-tree Leaf, of Her Eyes.
The test of the Cold Fire had begun. A Hierophant, with thunderous voice, recites the ritual
formula:
O Pyrene,
Goddess of Smiling Death
Whose Abode is
Beyond the Stars
Comest nearer to the Chosen Ones
Who claim to Thee!
O Pyrene,
Thou once lovedest thy Chosen Ones,
With the Warm Fire and then
Thou killedest them
Rememberest thy Promise!
Killest them first, with the Cold Fire,
Lovest them later, in thine Abode!
O Pyrene,
Bringest Death to the Warm Life in Us!
Let us meet Kâlibur,
The Cold Death of thy Gaze!
And let us live in the Death
Of thy Cold Life!
