CHAPTER VI
21/22

But it was not like the feast that comes to an end; it was repeated every day at the king's court.
It happened one night that the slaves stole around and woke each other.
Jesus became aware of the subdued noise and asked the cause.

One approached him and whispered, "Pharaoh weeps!" Like a mysterious breath of wind it went through the palace, "Pharaoh weeps!" Then all was still again, and the dreaming night lay over everything.
Jesus did not lie down again on the soft cushions, he rested on the cool floor and thought.

The king weeps! Arabia and India, Greece and Rome have sent their costliest treasures to Memphis.

Phoenician ships cruise off the coasts of Gaul, Albion, and Germany in order to obtain treasure for the great Pharaoh.

His people surround him day after day with homage, his life is at its prime.
