"Hidden unceasingly in all things, he alone lives, in him all things exist through eternity."
The boat moved gradually upward on the balcony; finally it halted at the highest point.
Then at the lower end of the arch appeared a priestess, arrayed as the goddess Tsis, with her son Horus, and with equal slowness she began to ascend. That was an image of the moon, which follows the sun.
Now the boat from the top of the arch began to go toward the west, and the chorus below sang again:
"The god incarnate in all things, the spirit of Shu in all gods. He is the body of a living person, the creator of the tree which bears fruit, the causer of fertilizing overflows. Without him nothing lives in the earthly circle." [Authentic hymn.]
The boat vanished at the western termination of the balcony, Isis and Horus stopped at the summit of the arch. A crowd of priests ran to the boat, took out the corpse of the pharaoh and placed it on a marble table, as Osiris to rest after his toils of the day.
Now to the dead man came the dissector, dressed as the god Typhon. On his head were a horrid mask and a red tangled wig, on his shoulders the skin of a wild boar, and in his hand an Ethiopian stone knife.
With this knife he began quickly to cut off the soles of the dead pharaoh's sandals.
"What art Thou doing, O Typhon, to thy sleeping brother?" asked Isis from the balcony.
"I am scraping the feet of my brother Osiris, so that he may not befoul heaven with earthly dust," replied the dissector dressed as Typhon.
