The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
12
The
Lady
now
being
arrived
at
this
place,
was
carried
out
of
her
Ship
into
one
of
those
Boats,
and
conveighed
through
the
same
passage
(for
there
was
no
other)
into
that
part
of
the
World
where
the
Emperor
did
reside;
which
part
was
very
pleasant,
and
of
a
mild
temper:
Within
it
self
it
was
divided
by
a
great
number
of
vast
and
large
Rivers,
all
ebbing
and
flowing,
into
several
Islands
of
unequal
distance
from
each
other,
which
in
most
parts
were
as
pleasant,
healthful,
rich,
and
fruitful,
as
Nature
could
make
them;
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
secure
from
all
Foreign
Invasions,
by
reason
there
was
but
one
way
to
enter,
and
that
like
a
Labyrinth,
so
winding
and
turning
among
the
Rocks,
that
no
other
Vessels
but
small
Boats,
could
pass,
carrying
not
above
three
passengers
at
a
time:
On
each
side
all
along
the
narrow
and
winding
River,
there
were
several
Cities,
some
of
Marble,
some
of
Alabaster,
some
of
Agat,
some
of
Amber,
some
of
Coral,
and
some
of
other
precious
materials
not
known
in
our
world;
all
which
after
the
Lady
had
passed,
she
came
to
the
Imperial
City,
named
Paradise,
which
appeared
in
form
like
several
Islands;
for,
Rivers
did
run
betwixt
every
street,
which
together
with
the
Bridges,
whereof
there
was
a
great
number,
were
all
paved.
The
City
it
self
was
built
of
Gold;
and
their
Architectures
were
noble,
stately,
and
magnificent,
not
like
our
Modern,
but
like
those
in
the
Romans
time;
for,
our
Modern
Buildings
are
like
those
Houses
which
Children
use
to
make
of
Cards,
one
story
above
another,
fitter
for
Birds,
then
Men;
but
theirs
were
more
Large,
and
Broad,
then
high;
the
highest
of
them
did
not
exceed
two
stories,
besides
those
rooms
that
were
under-ground,
as
Cellars,
and
other
Offices.
