The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
140
But,
said
she,
I
would
there
could
a
Passage
be
found
out
of
the
Blazing-World,
into
the
World
whence
you
came,
and
I
would
willingly
give
you
as
much
Riches
as
you
desir'd.
The
Duchess's
Soul
gave
her
Majesty
humble
thanks
for
her
great
Favour;
and
told
her,
that
she
was
not
covetous,
nor
desir'd
any
more
wealth
than
what
her
Lord
and
Husband
had
before
the
Civil-Warrs.
Neither,
said
she,
should
I
desire
it
for
my
own,
but
my
Lord's
Posterities
sake.
Well,
said
the
Empress,
I'le
command
my
Fish-men
to
use
all
their
Skill
and
Industry
to
find
out
a
Passage
into
that
World
which
your
Lord
and
Husband
is
in.
I
do
verily
believe,
answered
the
Duchess,
that
there
will
be
no
Passage
found
into
that
World;
but
if
there
were
any,
I
should
not
Petition
your
Majesty
for
Gold
and
Jewels,
but
only
for
the
Elixir
that
grows
in
the
midst
of
the
Golden
Sands,
for
to
preserve
Life
and
Health;
but
without
a
Passage,
it
is
impossible
to
carry
away
any
of
it:
for,
whatsoever
is
Material,
cannot
travel
like
Immaterial
Beings,
such
as
Souls
and
Spirits
are.
Neither
do
Souls
require
any
such
thing
that
might
revive
them,
or
prolong
their
Lives,
by
reason
they
are
unalterable:
for,
were
Souls
like
Bodies,
then
my
Soul
might
have
had
the
benefit
of
that
Natural
Elixir
that
grows
in
your
Blazing-World.
I
wish
earnestly,
said
the
Empress,
that
a
Passage
might
be
found,
and
then
both
your
Lord
and
your
self,
should
neither
want
Wealth,
nor
Long-life:
nay,
I
love
you
so
well,
that
I
would
make
you
as
Great
and
Powerful
a
Monarchess,
as
I
am
of
the
Blazing-World.
The
Duchess's
Soul
humbly
thank'd
her
Majesty,
and
told
her,
That
she
acknowledged
and
esteemed
her
Love
beyond
all
things
that
are
in
Nature.
