Excerpt from And the Sphinx SpokeHE Sphinx s'quatted in the middle of the Earth, and looked into infinite Space and across eter nal Time. The shadows of Life and Death danced weird, fantastic chiaroscuro dances upon his brow, and Truth, half-goddess, half-star, glittered in his eyes.The Centuries one by one knelt in awe before him, and passed on. And the Earth, weary, deluded Seeker, lamented in endless monotone: The Sphinx alone knows. He has gauged the mystery of Things. Oh, if only his lips would open, and his mouth relate!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
