Egypt Calls - Even Across The Space Of The World; And Across The Space
Of The World He Who Knows It
Is ready to come, obedient to its
summons, because in thrall to the eternal fascination of the "land of
sand,
And ruins, and gold"; the land of the charmed serpent, the land
of the afterglow, that may fade away from the sky above the mountains
of Libya, but that fades never from the memory of one who has seen it
from the base of some great column, or the top of some mighty pylon;
the land that has a spell - wonderful, beautiful Egypt.
End of The Spell of Egypt, by Robert Hichens
