Quarante colonnes de feu d\u00e9coraient la salle dans laqu\u2019elle je me trouvois un cot\u00e9 des colonnes brilloit d\u2019un feu blanc et vif, l\u2019autre sembloit dans l\u2019ombre une flamme noir\u00e2tre le couvrait; au centre de ce lieu s\u2019elevait un autel en forme de serpent, un or verd embel, lissoit son \u00e9caille diapr\u00e9e sur la qu\u2019elle se r\u00e9flettaient les flammes qui l\u2019environ, naient, ses yeux semblaient des rubis, une inscription argent\u00e9e etait pos\u00e9e pr\u00e8s de lui. Une riche \u00e9p\u00e9e \u00e9tait plant\u00e9e en terre pr\u00e8s du serpent, une coupe reposoit sur sa t\u00eate . . . J\u2019entendis le coeur des esprits c\u00e9lestes, une voix me dit le terme be tes travaux approche, prends le glaive, frappe le serpent. | IN its place a lake of fire presented itself to my sight. Sulphur and bitumen rolled in flaming waves. I trembled. A loud voice commanded me to pass through the flames. I obeyed, and the flames seemed tb have lost their power. For a long time I walked within the conflagration. Arrived at a circular space I contemplated the gorgeous spectacle which by the grace of heaven it was given me to enjoy. Forty columns of fire ornamented the hall in which I found myself. One side of the columns shone with a white and vivid fire, the other side seemed to be in shadow; a blackish flame covered it. In the center of this place stood an altar in the form of a serpent. A greenish gold embellished its diapered scales in which the surrounding flames were reflected. Its eyes looked like rubies. A silvery inscription was placed near it and a rich sword had been driven into the ground near the serpent, on whose head rested a cup . . . I heard the choir of the celestial spirits and a voice said to me: \"The end of thy labours draws near. Take the sword and smite the serpent.\" | \n| Je tirai l\u2019\u00e9p\u00e9e de son fourreau et m\u2019approchant de l\u2019autel je pris la coupe d\u2019une main et de l\u2019autre je portai un coup terrible sur le col du serpent, l\u2019\u00e9p\u00e9e rebondit, le coup raisonna comme si javois frapp\u00e9 une cloche d\u2019airain, \u00e0 peine avois-je ob\u00e9i a la voix que l\u2019autel dispar\u00fbt les colonnes se perdirent dans l\u2019immensit\u00e9, le son que j\u2019avois entendu en frappant l\u2019autel se r\u00e9p\u00e9ta comme si mille coups etaient frapp\u00e9s en m\u00eame temps, une main me saisit par les cheveux et m\u2019\u00e9leva vers la voute, elle souvrit pour me livrer passage, des vains fant\u00f4mes se pr\u00e9senterent devant moi, des Hydres, des Lamies m\u2019entourerent de serpens, la vue de l\u2019ep\u00e9e que je tenois \u00e0 la main \u00e9carta cette foule immonde comme les premiers rayons du jour dissipent les songes fr\u00eales enfans de la nuit. Apr\u00e8s \u00eatre mont\u00e9 par une ligne perpendiculaire \u00e0 travers les couches qui composent les parrois du globe. Je revis la lumi\u00e8re du Jour. | I drew the sword from its sheath and approaching the altar I took the cup with one hand and with the other I struck a terrific blow upon the neck of the serpent. The sword rebounded and the blow re-echoed as if I had struck on a brass bell. No sooner had I obeyed the voice than the altar disappeared and the columns vanished in boundless space. The sound which I had heard when striking the altar repeated itself as if a thousand blows had been struck at the same time. A hand seized me by the hair and lifted me toward the vault which opened to let me through. Shadowy phantoms appeared before me\u2014Hydras, Lamias and serpents surrounded me. The sight of the sword in my hand scattered the foul throng even as the first rays of light dissipate the frail dream-children of the night. After mounting straight upward through the layers that composed the walls of the globe, I saw again the light of day. |","title":"Most Holy Trinosophia: Part Three: Parallel French and En...","type":"page"}
