[She waits. Only the gust. Then springing up and stretching wide her arms with wild, blind eyes.]

Prophet of Israel, arise! Not in

The name of Baal, Amon, Ashtoreth,

Dagon or all the deities that dream

In trembling temples of Idolatry,

But of Jehovah! of Jehovah! rise!

[An elemental cry is heard. Then vast wavering forms rise out of the earth, in continuous stream. Miriam, with a long curdling shriek, sinks moaning to her knees.]

SAUL

Woman, I cannot—dare not—look upon it.

Utter thy sight.
