A Poem in Prose by of "Quo

fjr was a night of Spring, calm, ,,verT' I and fragan with dewy Jasmin. Th 0 full moon was sailing abov Olympus, and on the glittering, anowy summit ot the mountain -.It shone-wlth a clear, pensive, greenish light. 'Farther down In the Val ot Tempo waa a dark thicket ot thornbushes, shaaen by the songs ot nlghtlngalea by entreaties, by complaints, by calls, by alturemcnta, by languor, by sighs. These sounds flowed Ilk th muslo or flutes, filling th night; they fell Ilk a pouring rain, and rushed on Ilk rivers. At moments they ceased; then such silence followed that one might almost hear the snow thawing on th heights under th warm breath of Hay. It was an ambrosial night. On that night cam Peter and Paul, and sat on the highest grass-mound of the slope to pass Judgment on the gods of antiquity. Tha heads ot th . Apostles were encircled by halos. which. Illuminated their gray hair. etrn brows, and severe eyes. Delow, In th dp shad of beeches, stood the assembly of soda, abandoned and In dread, awaiting their sentence Peter motioned with his hand, and at th algn Zeus stepped forth first from th assembly and approached th Apostl. Th Cloud-Compeller was still mighty, and as hug aa It cut out of marble by Phidias, but weakenod and gloomy. His old eagle dragged along at his feet wKh broken wing, and th blue thunderbolt, grown reddish in places 'from rust, and partly quenched, seemed to h slipping from the stiffening tight hand ol th former father ot gods and men. Bat when he stood before th Apostles the feeling of ancient supremacy filled his broad breast. He raised his head haughtily, and 1ed on th face ot the aged fisherman of Gallia hla proud and glittering eyes, which wer as angry and aa terrible as lightnings Olympus, accustomed to tremble before Its rulr, shook to Its foundations. Tho beeches quivered with fear, th song of th nightingales ceased, and the rneoa sailing abov th anowa grew as white aa th linen web ot Arachn. Th eagl screamed through Ms crooked beak for th last time, and the lightning, as ir animated by its

ancient force, flashed and began to roar terribly at th feet ot Us master; It reared, hissed, snapped, and raised Its three-cornered, flaming forehead, like a serpant ready to atab with poisonous fang. But Peter pressed the fiery bolts with his foot and crushed them to the earth. Turning then to th Cloud-Compeller. he pronounced thla sentence: "Thou art cursed and condemned through all eternity." At once Zeus was extinguished. Growing pale In the twlnkl of an eye. he whispered, with blackening lips, "necessity," and vanished through tha earth. Poseidon of th dark curls next stood before th Apostles, with night In his eyes, and In his hand the blunted trident. To him then spoke Peter: "It la not thou who wilt rouse th blllowa. It Is not thou who wilt lead th stormtossed ships to a quiet haven, but ah who Is called th 'Star of th Sea.' " When Poseidon heard this he screamed, as If pierced with sudden pain, and turned Into vanishing mist. Next rose Apollo, the Silver-bowed, with a hollow lut In his hand, and walked, toward th holy men. Behind him moved slowly the nine Muses, looking like nine white pillars. Terror-stricken, they stood before the Judgment-seat, aa If petrified, breathless, and without hope; but tha radlant Apollo turned to Paul. and. In a vole which resembled wondrous music, said:. "Slay me not I Protect me, lord; for, ahoaZdst thou slay me, thou wouldst have to reatore m to life again. I am th blossom of th soul of humanity; I am-Its gladness; I am light; I am the yearning for God. Thou knowest best that the song ot earth will not reach heaven If thou break its wings. Hence I lmplor thee, O saint, not to emit down Song." A moment ot silence came. Peter raised hla eyes toward th stars. Paut placed his hands on his sword-hilt, rested his forehead on them, and for a time fell into deep thought. At last ha rose, mad th algn ot tha cross calmly abov th radiant head of th sod. and said: "Let Song live!" Apollo sat down with his lute a: :he feet

Have mercy, rorgrve; Z am the one happiness of mankind." Then sobbing- aad fear took away her voice. But Peter looked at the goddess wit compassion, and placed his aged palm on her golden hair, while Paul, beading- toward a cluster of whit field lilies, broke off oaa blossom, and touching her with It. Balds "Joy. be henceforth like this flower, and live thou for mankind." Then came dawn the divine dawa that looked out from beyond a depreaaion be tween two peaks.

The earth awoke, smiled, and was delighted, because Song and Joy had not beea taken from It.
