62 THE RUINKD TEMPLE. The awaking from this dream to the desolation around her was more terrible than all she had felt before. It must have bereft her of reason, but for the echo of three cheering words, which seemed to have awakened her — " I will come. " The next day, with the light of that radiant vision on her heart, she dragged her fettered limbs to the altar, and strove with her feeble and trcmblinc; hands to tear that marred imao;e from the shrine. But in vain. It was too firmly imbedded... there; and she could only turn her face from it, and weep, and cry for help. And before the next morning's dawn help came. In the night, a heavenly visitant de- scended ; and with human words, in a THE RUINED TEMPLE. 6^ language she had not spoken for years, but every word of which melted her heart like the accents of her mother- tongue, he touched her chains, and they fell off; he spoke, and the wild beasts fled, howling; he touched her broken harp, and it was restrung and tuned ; he touched the dry and choked-up channel of the sacred spring, and it welled forth pure and fresh from be- neath the altar; he touched the idol on the altar, and it fell, and in its stead shone that wondrous Radiance which she had seen in her dream ; then he poured on her head the fragrant oil of consecration, and clothed her in a white vestal priestly garment, and placed the restrung harp in her hand, and rose again to heaven.
