The fog was lighter here, and he could see the strange, bottle-shaped kilns with their orange, fanlike tongues of fire. As a fire raging in some mountain glen after long drought--and the dense forest is in a blaze, while the wind carries great tongues of fire in every direction--even so furiously did Achilles rage, wielding his spear as though he were a god, and giving chase to those whom he would slay, till the dark earth ran with blood. Here were not three existences, but one,--one only, which, like the flame on the hearth, divided itself into three tongues of fire. |
