LETTER VI
Concerning this person’s well-sustained efforts to discover
further demons. The behaviour of those invoked
on two
occasions.
VENERATED SIRE,—In an early letter I made
some reference to a variety of demon invoked by certain of the barbarians. As
this matter aroused your congenial interest, I have since privately bent my
mind incessantly to the discovery of others; but this has been by no means
easy, for, touching the more intimate details of the subject, the barbarians
frequently maintain a narrow-minded suspicion. Many whom I have approached
feign to become amused or have evaded a deliberate answer under the subterfuge
of a jest; yet, whenever I would have lurked by night in their temples or among
the enclosed spaces of their tombs to learn more, at a given signal one in
authority has approached me with anxiety and mistrust engraved upon his
features, and, disregarding my unassuming protest that I would remain alone in
a contemplative reverie, has signified that so devout an exercise is contrary
to their written law.
On one occasion only did this person seem
to hold himself poised on the very edge of a fuller enlightenment. This was
when, in the venerable company of several benevolent persons, he was being
taken from place to place to see the more important buildings, and to observe
the societies of artificers labouring at their crafts. The greater part of the
day had already been spent in visiting temples, open spaces reserved to
children and those whose speech, appearance, and general manner of behaving
make it desirable that they should be set apart from the contact of the
impressionable, halls containing relics and emblems of the past, places of no
particular size or attraction but described as being of unparalleled historic
interest, and the stalls of the more reputable venders of merchandise.
Doubtless, with observing so many details
of a conflicting nature, this person’s discriminating faculties had become
obscured, but towards evening he certainly understood that we sought the
company of an assembly of those who had been selected from all the Empire to
pronounce definitely upon matters of supreme import. The building before which
our chariot stopped had every appearance of being worthy of so exceptional a
gathering, and with a most affluent joy that I should at last be able to glean
a decisive pronouncement, I evaded those who had accompanied me, and, mingling
self-reliantly with the throng inside, I quickly surrounded myself with many of
the wisest-looking, and begged that they would open their heads freely and
express their innermost opinions upon the subject of demons of all kinds.
Although I had admittedly hoped that these
persons would not conceal themselves behind the wings of epigram or intangible
prevarication, I was far from being prepared for the candour with which they
greeted me, and although by long usage I am reasonably unconcerned at the
proximity of any of our own recognised genii, it is not to be denied that my
organs of ferocity grew small and unstable at the revelations.
