A ma droite et \u00e0 ma gauche souvraient deux portes l\u2019une donnoit sur une plaine aride. Un vent sec et brulant y r\u00e9gnoit en tout temps. l\u2019autre porte souvroit sur un lac \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 du quel on appercevoit une fa\u00e7ade de marbre noir. Je m\u2019approchai pr\u00e8s de l\u2019autel et pris dans mes mains du sel blanc et brillant. que les sages appellent Je m\u2019en frottai tout le corps. Je m\u2019en p\u00e9n\u00e9trai et apr\u00e8s avoir lu les hierogliphes qui accompagnoient le tableau je m\u2019appr\u00eatai a quitter c\u00e8tte salle. mon premier dessein etoit de sortir Dar la porte aui donnoit | I LEFT the gallery by a low and narrow door and entered a circular apartment the panelling of which was made of ash and sandal wood. At the further end of the apartment on a pedestal composed of the trunk of a vine lay a mass of white and shining salt. Above was a picture showing a crowned white lion and a cluster of grapes; both rested on a salver sustained in the air by the smoke of a lighted brazier. To my right and left two doors opened, one giving unto an arid plain. A dry and scorching wind blew over it continually. The other door opened on a lake at the extreme end of which a black marble fa\u00e7ade could be seen. I approached the altar and took into my hands some of the white and shining salt which the sages call and rubbed my entire body with it. I impregnated myself with it, and after having read the hieroglyphics accompanying the picture I prepared to leave this hall. My first intention was to leave | \n| sur la plaine, mais une vapeur br\u00fblante s\u2019en exalloit, je pr\u00e9f\u00e9rai le chemin oppos\u00e9, j\u2019avois la libert\u00e9 de choisir, avec la condition cependant de ne pas quitter celui que j\u2019aurois pris . . . Je me d\u00e9cidai \u00e0 passer le lac, ses eaux \u00e9toient sombres et dormantes, j\u2019appercevois bien \u00e0 une certaine distance un pont nomm\u00e9 mais je pr\u00e9f\u00e9rai traverser le lac \u00e0 la longue route que j\u2019aurois \u00e9t\u00e9 oblig\u00e9 de faire pour atteindre le pont, en suivant les sinuosit\u00e9s d\u2019un rivage sem\u00e9 de rochers. j\u2019entrai dans l\u2019eau, elle \u00e9toit \u00e9paisse comme du ciment, je m\u2019apper\u00e7us qu\u2019il m\u2019\u00e9toit inutile de nager, par tout mes pieds rencontr\u00earent le sol. Je marchai dans le lac pendant treize jours. Enfin je parvins \u00e0 l\u2019autre bord. | by the door opening upon the plain, but there issued therefrom a hot vapor and I preferred the opposite path. I had the freedom of choice with the condition, however, not to leave the one once chosen. . . I decided to cross the lake; its waters were sombre and sleeping. At a certain distance I clearly noticed a bridge called To reach it I would have been obliged to follow the windings of a shore covered with rocks, and I preferred to cross the lake. I entered the water which was as thick as cement. I noticed that it was useless for me to swim since my feet touched bottom everywhere. I walked in the lake for thirteen days. At last I came to the other shore. |","title":"Most Holy Trinosophia: Part Three: Parallel French and En...","type":"page"}
