I have turned again to the place of abundance of sacrifices. West-ward, when the day grows old I am beheld as a god.\"\nHigh Priest\n\"Thy work is that of a magician divine! Truly thou hast made thyself to be of our flesh. Thou hast made thyself, and who dare affront thee?\"\n\"Truly he who affronts me faces the dangers; My fathers took by the heads the tigers and serpents!\"\n\"In Tla-locan, the Place of the Divine, they play at ball! They cast the reeds!\"\nHigh Priest to Devotees\n\"Go forth! Go forth to where the clouds are spread--where the thick mist marks the cloudy house of Tla-loc!\"\n\"Go ye out to seek me! Seek for the voice I send forth as I rise--a terrible god--a cry on the winds!\"","title":"Pagan Prayers: Hymn Of Tla-loc (Mexican)","type":"page"}
