Excerpt from Revelation The time, the nineteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Master of the World. The place, Jerusalem, a city in the Roman province of Palestine administered by Pontius Pilate. In the houses the women scold, talk, and give place to the ensteeled soldiers of Rome. Beggars pester for alms, blind men whine, lepers rot by the roadside, children play noisily together, men who pray look superciliously upon those who do not, harlots wait in their houses, girls envy each other and watch young men, shepherds, labourers, smiths, fishermen, weavers, tax-collectors, potters, and money-changers ply their trades, and the son of a Galiloean carpenter, who is reputed to cure sickness and teach heresy, goes from village to village, fed by charity, and followed by a few fishers. I The hinged palm-wood shutter of the square window hung open, and the neutral first-light, mingling with the dusk of the chamber, leavened it increasingly. A round, flattish basket of woven grasses sat on the matted floor. The lid of the basket had been set on it unevenly, and at the chink between lid and rim something moved. It was the diamond-shape head of a serpent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
