Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Behind the Veil Across the columns of sunshine, falling on the heads of the musicians between the columns of stone, I felt the eyes of the African weighing like lead upon my quivering eyelids. The place of the musicians was on the left side of the steps of the throne: but by reason of the faint delicacy of the notes of my instrument, my seat was set at the extreme limit of the line dividing the slave boundary from the court of the King of Kings. As I waited the turn of my five-stringed instrument, I could see, through lowered lashes, the rainbow-glimmer of those marble throne steps; sometimes the purple shadow of the royal robes seemed to touch with a sombre glory the edge of vision; but the eyes of the African weighed like lead upon my quivering eyelids, which pulsed fiercely to be raised; though for a slave to look upon the face of the King of Kings, bore the penalty of death by torture. Day after day, when the gold of afternoon cut its tiger-stripes upon the shadowy floors, we passed silent-footed through the cool corridors about the Throne-Chamber, into the awful silence of the Presence itself.
