*bell
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.

*shield
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.
