^^ And when from the statue you descend to the palace, the same impression is kept up Everywhere the king is conquering, worshipping, ruling. The palace is the Temple, the king is Priest. But everywhere the COMMUNION WITH THE UNSEEN WORLD. 167 same colossal proportions are preserved. He and his horses are ten times the size of the rest of the army. Alike in battle and in worship, he is of the same stature as the gods themselves. Most striking is the familiar gentleness with which — one on each ...side — they take him by each hand, as one of their own order, and then in the next compartment introduce him to Amnion and the lion-headed goddess. Every distinction, except of degree, between divinity and royalty, is entirely levelled, and the royal majesty is always represented by making the king, not like Saul or Agamemnon, from the head and shoulders, but from the foot and ankle upwards, higher than the rest of the people. ^' It carries one back to the days ^ when there were giants on the earth.
