Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Athothis a Satire on Modern Medicine The cathedral bells were chiming the hour of midnight, yet Doctor Paulus Androcydes still lingered over a roll of papyrus and slowly deciphered the curious hieroglyphics. On an oriental rug in front of an open grate, filled with red coals, sat an enormous Angora cat, which seemed to be enjoying the heat radiated from the burning embers. A lamp of antique pattern, suspended from the ceiling by copper chains, threw a mysterious light over the spectacled student, and defined the various objects around it with peculiar distinctness. In each corner of the apartment hung carved oaken brackets, shaped in imitation of the Egyptian lotus, symbolic of life eternal. Poised on each of these supports was a stuffed bird; on one a hawk, the hieroglyphic for the soul, sacred to Horus; on another a lapwing, typical of the solar period, the return of Osiris to life; on a third an ibis, or crane, significant of intelligence; on a fourth, a swallow with outstretched wings.
