Ay, this was the vision that was sent me as I lay in pain and misery among the bones of my dead in the ashes of my kraal.

Thus it was given me to see the Inkosazana of the Heavens as she is in her own place.

Twice more I saw her, as you shall hear, but that was on the earth and with my waking eyes.

Yes, thrice has it been given to me in all to look upon that face that I shall now see no more till I am dead, for no man may look four times on the Inkosazana and live.
