why didn't you let me die in the desert�拭           �Why didn't I die�拭─�

     ;And why should you die�察�Marco Polo�拭─              �Her low�察�sweet voice rang 

in the heart of him。      ;Didn't you come here to give your message�拭�And to 

make   converts�拭     �And   didn't   I   hear   your   message�拭 �And   am   n't   I   your 

convert�察�Marco Polo�拭─�

    And now the place of Li Po was usurped�察�and gone Sanang with his 

magic glass�察�and in the jasmine garden by the Lake of Cranes Marco Polo 

sat and instructed Golden Bells。 。 。

                            CHAPTER XVII 



     And he told of the flight into Egypt when savage Herod reigned�察�and 

of the Jewish maid and her child sleeping beneath the shadow of the great 

Sphinx�察  �while   the   shades   of   the   old Afric   gods   looked   on   in   reverence�察�

Amenalk and Thoth and the moon´horned Io�察�Isis�察�and Osiris。                       And the 

painted kings knelt in their pyramids�察�and out of the sluggish Nile came 

the strange aquatic population�察�the torpid crocodiles and monstrous water 

lizards�察�and the great hippopotami lumbered to bow before the little Lord 

of all things。 。 。 

     And   he   told   her   how   Satan   had   tempted   Him   on   the   lonely�察  �black 

craigs。 。 。 

     ;But you are not listening�察�little Golden Bells  ; 

     ;Indeed   I   am   listening�察  �Marco   Polo。     Yes�察  �indeed   I   am。   I   love   to 

hear your voice�察�Marco Polo。            You are so earnest�察�Marco Polo�察�there is 

such a light in your eyes。        Listen�察�Marco Polo�察�Li Po once wrote a poem�察�

'White Gleam the Gulls��' and it is the poem by which he is best known�察�

and every time I hear it there is an echo in my heart。 But�察�Marco Polo�察�I 

never listened to Li Po's song so eagerly as I am listening to your voice。; 

     ;But you are not taking it in�察�little Golden Bells。; 

     ;It is very hard to take in�察�Marco Polo。           It happened so long ago。 It is 

hard to think of a tragedy in a strange country�察�and we in this garden on 

the second moon of spring。           And it was so very long ago。           Do you hear 

the bees�察�Marco Polo  the bees among the almond´blossoms�拭                      �And see 

the   blue   heron   by   the   lotus   flowers�拭�And   do   you   see   the   little   tortoise�察�

Marco   Polo�察  �and   he   sunning   himself   on   a   leaf�拭    �If   I   throw   a   pebble�察�

Marco Polo�察�he will dive�察�and he is such a clumsy diver�察�Marco Polo� ─�

     ;But you must listen�察�Golden Bells�察�and believe me。; 

     ;I do believe�察�Marco Polo�察�I honestly do。              Don't you know I believe 

you�拭     �Anything      you   say�察  �Marco     Polo�察  �I  believe。    You     wouldn't    be 

coming   all   the   way   over   the   world   to   be   telling   me   a   lie。 Of   course   I 

believe。; 

     ;And doesn't it make you happy�察�Golden Bells�拭─�

     ;Once I was unhappy�察�Marco Polo。               I used sit here�察�and on my lute I

used play the 'Song of the Willow Branches��' which is the saddest song in 

the world。      Under the moon I used be lonely�察�and the droning of the bees 

meant   nothing   to   me�察  �and   now   it   is   a   sweet   brave   song。   I   cannot   play 

'Willow   Branches'   any   more�察  �so   alien   is   sadness   to   me。  And   the   moon 

smiles。     I am very happy�察�Marco Polo。; 

     ;It is the True Religion�察�little Golden Bells�察�that makes you happy。; 

     ;Is it�察�Marco Polo�拭        �Is it�拭  �It must be�察�I suppose。         I don't know what 

it is�察�but I am very happy。;

                          CHAPTER XVIII 



     And he   told her   of   Paul�察 �who   had   seen   a   vision   and gone   preaching 

through�察�the world�察�who was persecuted�察�who was shipwrecked�察�who was 

bitten by a viper�察�and who survived everything that he might preach   the 

Lord Jesus。      He was a fierce�察�ragged man with burning eyes。 。 。 And he 

told her of Paul's instructions to women。 。 。 

     ;You   do   not   look   at   me   when   you   speak�察  �Marco   Polo。   Only   your 

voice comes to me�察�not your eyes。           Is it because of Paul�拭─�

     And    Marco     Polo   felt  great  trouble   on   him�察  �because    he  could   not 

explain。     But Golden Bells went on�此�

     ;There is little in your faith about women�察�Marco Polo。                 Is it a faith 

only for men�察�then�拭       �Is it against women�拭       �Must the young men not look 

at the young women�拭─�

     ;No�察  �Golden   Bells�察  �the   young   men   must   not   look   too   much   on   the 

young women。; 

     ;But that is very foolish�察�Marco Polo。          Is it wrong to see the beauty of 

the   almond   blossoms�察  �wrong   to   taste   the   scented   wind�拭  �Is   it   wrong   to 

watch the kingfisher seeking his nest�拭          �Is it wrong to watch the moon�察�the 

stars�拭   �All these are very beautiful�察�Marco Polo�察�so beautiful as to make 

me cry。     Is it wrong to watch them�拭─�

     ;It is not wrong�察�Golden Bells。          The glory of God is in the beauty of 

his handicraft。; 

     ;Li Po is old and wise and a great poet�察�Marco Polo�察�and Li Po says 

there is beauty in a running horse and beauty in a running stream�察�but there 

is no beauty like the beauty of a young woman�察�and she letting down her 

hair。   God   made   the   beauty  of   women�察  �too�察  �Marco   Polo�察  �as   well   as   the 

beauty of the stars。      Won't you please explain to me�察�Marco Polo�拭               �Why 

should Li Po say one thing and Saint Paul another�拭─�

     ;But Golden Bells�察�Saint Paul is inspired of God。; 

     ;But   Li   Po   is   inspired   of   God�察  �too�察  �Marco   Polo。 You   mustn't   be 

thinking 1ittle of Li Po。      He is fat and old and drunken�察�but when he sings�察�

Marco Polo�察�it is the song of the wandering stars。              But why must not the 

young   men   look   at   the   young   women�察 �Marco   Polo�拭�Why   must   they  not

look with their eyes�拭─�

     ;It will be hard for me to tell you�察�Golden Bells  ; 

     ;Look at me now�察�Marco Polo。            Lift up your eyes and look into my 

eyes。 Is there evil in me�察�Marco Polo�察�that your eyes should avoid me as 

the fox avoids the dog�拭       �Or maybe I am not beautiful。         Maybe they told 

me wrong because I was a king's daughter�察�and they would not have me 

think little   of   myself。  Maybe   I   am  not   beautiful�察 �Marco   Polo�察 �maybe   I 

hurt your eyes  ; 

     ;Ah�察�Golden Bells�察�the little horned moon is not more beautiful。; 

     ;Then why must not the young men look at the young women�察�Marco 

Polo�拭�You are here to instruct me。         Won't you tell me why�拭─�

     ;Maybe  maybe  maybe it is for fear of sin�察�Golden Bells。; 

     ;Sin�拭   �Sin�    �Why   should   there   be   sin�拭  �I   know   sin�察  �Marco   Polo。 

They have warned me against it since I crept upon the floor。 There are two 

sins。   There is meanness�察�Marco Polo�察�and there is cruelty�察�and those are 

the only sins。    I know your heart�察�Marco Polo�察�there is no meanness there。 

You would not have come here were you mean。                 The
