They were old Chimes, trust me. Centuries ago, these Bells had

been baptized by bishops: so many centuries ago, that the register

of their baptism was lost long, long before the memory of man, and
|

no one knew their names. They had had their Godfathers and
|

Godmothers, these Bells (for my own part, by the way, I would
|

rather incur the responsibility of being Godfather to a Bell than
|
||||
a Boy), and had their silver mugs no doubt, besides.
|
||||
But Time had mowed down their sponsors, and Henry the Eighth had
|
||||
melted down their mugs; and they now hung, nameless and mugless,
|
||||
in the church-tower.

In his hands he took his shield, all glittering: no one ever

broke it with a blow or crushed it. And a wonder it was to see;

for its whole orb shimmered with enamel and white ivory and
|

electrum, and it glowed with shining gold; and there were zones
|

of cyanus1drawn upon it. In the center was Fear worked in adamant,

unspeakable, staring backwards with eyes that glowed with fire.
|

His mouth was full of teeth in a white row, fearful and daunting,
|
||||
and upon his grim brow hovered frightful Strife who arrays the
|
||||
throng of men: pitiless she, for she took away the mind and senses
|
||||
of poor wretches who made war against the son of Zeus. Their souls
|

passed beneath the earth and went down into the house of Hades;

but their bones, when the skin is rotted about them, crumble away

on the dark earth under parching Sirius.
