The seasonal pageants march to the statue's feet, scattering flowers.

The important outdoor festivals are given on the edge of her hill.

All the roads lead to her footstool.

Pilgrims come from the Seven Seas to look upon her face that is carved by Invisible Powers.

Moreover, the living messenger that is her actual soul appears in dreams, or visions of the open day, when the days are dark for the city, when her patriots are irresolute, and her children are put to shame.
