Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Temptation of St. Antony, Vol. 7: Or, a Revelation of the Soul
Some ten paces or so from the cell a tall cross is planted in the ground; and, at the other end of the platform, a gnarled old palm-tree leans over the abyss, for the side of the mountain is scarped; and at the bottom of the cliff the Nile swells, as it were, into a lake.
