The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
122
Alas,
replied
the
Empress,
that
will
never
do;
for
first,
said
she,
it
will
be
difficult
to
get
so
many
dead
Bodies
for
their
Vehicles,
as
to
make
up
a
whole
Army,
much
more
to
make
many
Armies
to
fight
with
so
many
several
Nations;
nay,
if
this
could
be,
yet
it
is
not
possible
to
get
so
many
dead
and
undissolved
Bodies
in
one
Nation;
and
for
transporting
them
out
of
other
Nations,
it
would
be
a
thing
of
great
difficulty
and
improbability:
But
put
the
case,
said
she,
all
these
difficulties
could
be
overcome;
yet
there
is
one
obstruction
or
hindrance
which
can
no
ways
be
avoided:
For
although
those
dead
and
undissolved
Bodies
did
all
die
in
one
minute
of
time;
yet
before
they
could
Rendezvouze,
and
be
put
into
a
posture
of
War,
to
make
a
great
and
formidable
Army,
they
would
stink
and
dissolve;
and
when
they
came
to
a
fight,
they
would
moulder
into
dust
and
ashes,
and
so
leave
the
purer
Immaterial
Spirits
naked:
nay,
were
it
also
possible,
that
those
dead
bodies
could
be
preserved
from
stinking
and
dissolving,
yet
the
Souls
of
such
Bodies
would
not
suffer
Immaterial
Spirits
to
rule
and
order
them,
but
they
would
enter
and
govern
them
themselves,
as
being
the
right
owners
thereof,
which
would
produce
a
War
between
those
Immaterial
Souls,
and
the
Immaterial
Spirits
in
Material
Bodies;
all
which
would
hinder
them
from
doing
any
service
in
the
actions
of
War,
against
the
Enemies
of
my
Native
Countrey.
