Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Zoroaster, and Marzio's Crucifix
From end to end of the mighty nave, the tables of wood, overlaid with gold and silver, stood spread with those things which the heart of man can desire; with cups of gold and of glass and of jade with great dishes heaped high with rare fruits and rarer ?owers and over all, the last purple rays of the great southern sun came ?oating through the Open colonnades of the porch, glancing on the polished marbles, tingeing with a softer hue the smooth red plaster of the walls, and lingering lovingly on the golden features and the red gold draperies of the vast statue that sat on high and overlooked the scene.
