Gradually
,
however
,
the
song
was
taken
up
by
company
after
company
,
till
the
whole
armed
multitude
were
singing
it
,
and
I
could
no
longer
follow
the
words
,
except
in
so
far
as
they
appeared
to
represent
various
phases
of
human
passions
,
fears
,
and
joys
.
Now
it
seemed
to
be
a
love
song
,
now
a
majestic
swelling
war
chant
,
and
last
of
all
a
death
dirge
ending
suddenly
in
one
heart-breaking
wail
that
went
echoing
and
rolling
away
in
a
volume
of
blood-curdling
sound
.
Again
silence
fell
upon
the
place
,
and
again
it
was
broken
by
the
king
lifting
his
hand
.
Instantly
we
heard
a
pattering
of
feet
,
and
from
out
of
the
masses
of
warriors
strange
and
awful
figures
appeared
running
towards
us
.
As
they
drew
near
we
saw
that
these
were
women
,
most
of
them
aged
,
for
their
white
hair
,
ornamented
with
small
bladders
taken
from
fish
,
streamed
out
behind
them
.
Their
faces
were
painted
in
stripes
of
white
and
yellow
;
down
their
backs
hung
snake-skins
,
and
round
their
waists
rattled
circlets
of
human
bones
,
while
each
held
a
small
forked
wand
in
her
shrivelled
hand
.
In
all
there
were
ten
of
them
.
When
they
arrived
in
front
of
us
they
halted
,
and
one
of
them
,
pointing
with
her
wand
towards
the
crouching
figure
of
Gagool
,
cried
out
--
"
Mother
,
old
mother
,
we
are
here
.
"
"
Good
!
good
!
good
!
"
answered
that
aged
Iniquity
.
"
Are
your
eyes
keen
,
Isanusis
,
ye
seers
in
dark
places
?
"
"
Mother
,
they
are
keen
.
"
"
Good
!
good
!
good
!
Are
your
ears
open
,
Isanusis
,
ye
who
hear
words
that
come
not
from
the
tongue
?
"
"
Mother
,
they
are
open
.
"
"
Good
!
good
!
good
!
Are
your
senses
awake
,
Isanusis
--
can
ye
smell
blood
,
can
ye
purge
the
land
of
the
wicked
ones
who
compass
evil
against
the
king
and
against
their
neighbours
?
Are
ye
ready
to
do
the
justice
of
'
Heaven
above
,
'
ye
whom
I
have
taught
,
who
have
eaten
of
the
bread
of
my
wisdom
,
and
drunk
of
the
water
of
my
magic
?
"
"
Mother
,
we
can
