Je m\u2019\u00e9lan\u00e7ai \u00e0pr\u00e8s lui, il ne voloit pas mais il se servoit de ses ailes pour courir avec la plus grande rapidit\u00e9, je le poursuivis, il fuyoit devant moi et me fit plusieurs fois parcourir la plaine dans toute son \u00e9tendue, Je le suivis sans m\u2019arreter, enfin apr\u00e8s neuf jours de course je le contraignis d\u2019entrer dans la tour que j\u2019avois v\u00fb de loin en sortant de les murailles de cet \u00e9difice \u00e9toit de fer . . . trente six pilliers de m\u00eame m\u00e9tal les soutenoit l\u2019int\u00e9rieur \u00e9toit de m\u00eame matiere, incrust\u00e9 d\u2019acier brillant.

A voice issuing from a cloud commanded me to seize and to affix it and I darted forth after it. It did not fly but used its wings in order to run with the greatest rapidity. I pursued it; it fled before me and made me cover the entire plain several times. I followed it without pause. Finally, after pursuing it for nine days, I forced it to enter the tower which I had seen in the distance as I was leaving The walls of this edifice were of iron. Thirty-six columns of the same metal supported it. The interior was of the same material, incrusted with shining steel. The foundations of the tower were so constructed as to be twice as deep in the earth as they were high above ground. The bird had barely entered this enclosure when an icy cold seemed to overcome it. In vain it | \n| engourdies. Il s\u2019agittoit encore, essayait de fuir, mais si foiblement que je l\u2019atteignis avec la plus grande facilit\u00e9. Je le saisis, et lui passant un clou d\u2019acier a travers les ailes je l\u2019attachai sur le plancher de la tour. \u00e0 l\u2019aide d\u2019un marteau appell\u00e9 \u00e0 peine avois-je fini que l\u2019oiseau reprit de nouvelles forces, il ne s\u2019agitta plus, mais ses yeux devinrent brillants comme des topazes j\u2019\u00e9tois occup\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019examiner quand un grouppe plac\u00e9 au centre de la salle attira mon attention, il repr\u00e9sentoit un bel homme dans la fleur de rage il tenoit \u00e0 la main une verge qu\u2019entouraient deux serpens entrelac\u00e9s, et s\u2019effor\u00e7ait de s\u2019\u00e9chapper des mains d\u2019un autre homme grand et vigoureux, arm\u00e9 d\u2019une ceinture et d\u2019un casque de fer sur le qu\u2019el flottoit une aigrette rouge; une \u00e9p\u00e9e \u00e9toit pr\u00e8s de lui elle etoit appuy\u00e9e sur un bouclier charg\u00e9 d\u2019hieroglyphes; l\u2019homme arm\u00e9 tenoit dans ses mains une forte chaine il en lioit les pieds et le corps de l\u2019adolescent qui cherchoit vainement \u00e0 fuir son terrible adversaire; deux tables rouges renfermaient des caracteres. Je quittai, la tour et ouvrant une porte qui se trouvoit entre deux pillers je me trouvai dans une vaste salle. | tried to move its numbed wings. It still fluttered, trying to flee, but so feebly that I reached it with the greatest ease. I seized the bird, and driving a steel nail through its wings, I affixed it to the floor of the tower with the aid of a hammer called Hardly had I finished when the bird acquired new strength. It did not move, however, but its eyes began to shine like topaz. I was gazing at it when my attention was attracted by a group in the center of the hall. It showed a handsome man in the prime of life. In his hand he held a staff about which two serpents were interlaced. The young man was striving to escape a larger and more powerful man who wore a girdle and a helmet of iron surmounted by waving red plumes. Near him a sword lay on a buckler covered with hieroglyphs. The armed man held in his hand a heavy chain with which he shackled the feet and body of the youth who tried in vain to flee from his terrible adversary. Two red tablets bore certain characters. I departed from the tower, and opening a door between two pillars I found myself in a vast hall. |","title":"Most Holy Trinosophia: Part Three: Parallel French and English Text of the Most Holy Trinosophia: Section Eleven","type":"page"}
