The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
136
Thus
the
Empress
did
not
onely
save
her
Native
Country,
but
made
it
the
Absolute
Monarchy
of
all
that
World;
and
both
the
effects
of
her
Power
and
her
Beauty,
did
kindle
a
great
desire
in
all
the
greatest
Princes
to
see
her;
who
hearing
that
she
was
resolved
to
return
into
her
own
Blazing-World,
they
all
entreated
the
favour,
that
they
might
wait
on
her
Majesty
before
she
went.
The
Empress
sent
word,
That
she
should
be
glad
to
grant
their
Requests;
but
having
no
other
place
of
Reception
for
them,
she
desired
that
they
would
be
pleased
to
come
into
the
open
Seas
with
their
Ships,
and
make
a
Circle
of
a
pretty
large
compass,
and
then
her
own
Ships
should
meet
them,
and
close
up
the
Circle,
and
she
would
present
her
self
to
the
view
of
all
those
that
came
to
see
her:
Which
Answer
was
joyfully
received
by
all
the
mentioned
Princes,
who
came,
some
sooner,
and
some
later,
each
according
to
the
distance
of
his
Countrey,
and
the
length
of
the
voyage.
And
being
all
met
in
the
form
and
manner
aforesaid,
the
Empress
appeared
upon
the
face
of
the
Water
in
her
Imperial
Robes;
in
some
part
of
her
hair,
near
her
face,
she
had
placed
some
of
the
Starr-
Stone,
which
added
such
a
luster
and
glory
to
it,
that
it
caused
a
great
admiration
in
all
that
were
present,
who
believed
her
to
be
some
Celestial
Creature,
or
rather
an
uncreated
Goddess,
and
they
all
had
a
desire
to
worship
her;
for
surely,
said
they,
no
mortal
creature
can
have
such
a
splendid
and
transcendent
beauty,
nor
can
any
have
so
great
a
power
as
she
has,
to
walk
upon
the
Waters,
and
to
destroy
whatever
she
pleases,
not
onely
whole
Nations,
but
a
whole
World.
