The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
13
The
Emperor's
Palace
stood
upon
an
indifferent
ascent
from
the
Imperial
City;
at
the
top
of
which
ascent
was
a
broad
Arch,
supported
by
several
Pillars,
which
went
round
the
Palace,
and
contained
four
of
our
English
miles
in
compass:
within
the
Arch
stood
the
Emperor's
Guard,
which
consisted
of
several
sorts
of
Men;
at
every
half
mile,
was
a
Gate
to
enter,
and
every
Gate
was
of
a
different
fashion;
the
first,
which
allowed
a
passage
from
the
Imperial
City
into
the
Palace,
had
on
either
hand
a
Cloyster,
the
outward
part
whereof
stood
upon
Arches
sustained
by
Pillars,
but
the
inner
part
was
close:
Being
entred
through
the
Gate,
the
Palace
it
self
appear'd
in
its
middle
like
the
Isle
of
a
Church,
a
mile
and
a
half
long,
and
half
a
mile
broad;
the
roof
of
it
was
all
Arched,
and
rested
upon
Pillars,
so
artificially
placed
that
a
stranger
would
lose
himself
therein
without
a
Guide;
at
the
extream
sides,
that
is,
between
the
outward
and
inward
part
of
the
Cloyster,
were
Lodgings
for
Attendants;
and
in
the
midst
of
the
Palace,
the
Emperor's
own
Rooms;
whose
Lights
were
placed
at
the
top
of
every
one,
because
of
the
heat
of
the
Sun:
the
Emperor's
appartment
for
State
was
no
more
inclosed
then
the
rest;
onely
an
Imperial
Throne
was
in
every
appartment,
of
which
the
several
adornments
could
not
be
perceived
until
one
entered,
because
the
Pillars
were
so
just
opposite
to
one
another,
that
all
the
adornments
could
not
be
seen
at
one.
