In
a
second
he
was
lifted
up
,
and
eager
hands
were
pouring
water
on
his
face
.
Another
minute
,
and
the
grey
eyes
opened
wide
.
He
was
not
dead
.
Then
I
,
just
as
the
sun
sank
,
stepping
to
where
Twala
's
head
lay
in
the
dust
,
unloosed
the
diamond
from
the
dead
brows
,
and
handed
it
to
Ignosi
.
"
Take
it
,
"
I
said
,
"
lawful
king
of
the
Kukuanas
--
king
by
birth
and
victory
.
"
Ignosi
bound
the
diadem
upon
his
brows
.
Then
advancing
,
he
placed
his
foot
upon
the
broad
chest
of
his
headless
foe
and
broke
out
into
a
chant
,
or
rather
a
pæan
of
triumph
,
so
beautiful
,
and
yet
so
utterly
savage
,
that
I
despair
of
being
able
to
give
an
adequate
version
of
his
words
.
Once
I
heard
a
scholar
with
a
fine
voice
read
aloud
from
the
Greek
poet
Homer
,
and
I
remember
that
the
sound
of
the
rolling
lines
seemed
to
make
my
blood
stand
still
.
Ignosi
's
chant
,
uttered
as
it
was
in
a
language
as
beautiful
and
sonorous
as
the
old
Greek
,
produced
exactly
the
same
effect
on
me
,
although
I
was
exhausted
with
toil
and
many
emotions
.
"
Now
,
"
he
began
,
"
now
our
rebellion
is
swallowed
up
in
victory
,
and
our
evil-doing
is
justified
by
strength
.
"
In
the
morning
the
oppressors
arose
and
stretched
themselves
;
they
bound
on
their
harness
and
made
them
ready
to
war
.
"
They
rose
up
and
tossed
their
spears
:
the
soldiers
called
to
the
captains
,
'
Come
,
lead
us
'
--
and
the
captains
cried
to
the
king
,
'
Direct
thou
the
battle
.
'
"
They
laughed
in
their
pride
,
twenty
thousand
men
,
and
yet
a
twenty
thousand
.
"
Their
plumes
covered
the
valleys
as
the
plumes
of
a
bird
cover
her
nest
;
they
shook
their
shields
and
shouted
,
yea
,
they
shook
their
shields
in
the
sunlight
;
they
lusted
for
battle
and
were
glad
.
