The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
15
Her
Accoustrement
after
she
was
made
Empress,
was
as
followeth:
On
her
head
she
wore
a
Cap
of
Pearl,
and
a
Half-moon
of
Diamonds
just
before
it;
on
the
top
of
her
Crown
came
spreading
over
a
broad
Carbuncle,
cut
in
the
form
of
the
Sun;
her
Coat
was
of
Pearl,
mixt
with
blew
Diamonds,
and
frindged
with
red
ones;
her
Buskins
and
Sandals
were
of
green
Diamonds;
In
her
left
hand
she
held
a
Buckler,
to
signifie
the
Defence
of
her
Dominions;
which
Buckler
was
made
of
that
sort
of
Diamond
as
has
several
different
Colours;
and
being
cut
and
made
in
the
form
of
an
Arch,
shewed
like
a
Rain-bow;
In
her
right
hand
she
carried
a
Spear
made
of
white
Diamond,
cut
like
the
tail
of
a
Blazing
Star,
which
signified
that
she
was
ready
to
assault
those
that
proved
her
Enemies.
None
was
allowed
to
use
or
wear
Gold
but
those
of
the
Imperial
Race,
which
were
the
onely
Nobles
of
the
State;
nor
durst
any
one
wear
Jewels
but
the
Emperor,
the
Empress
and
their
Eldest
Son;
notwithstanding
that
they
had
an
infinite
quantity
both
of
Gold
and
precious
Stones
in
that
World;
for
they
had
larger
extents
of
Gold,
then
our
Arabian
Sands;
their
precious
Stones
were
Rocks,
and
their
Diamonds
of
several
Colours;
they
used
no
Coyn,
but
all
their
Traffick
was
by
exchange
of
several
Commodities.
Their
Priests
and
Governors
were
Princes
of
the
Imperial
Blood,
and
made
Eunuches
for
that
purpose;
and
as
for
the
ordinary
sort
of
men
in
that
part
of
the
World
where
the
Emperor
resided,
they
were
of
several
Complexions;
not
white,
black,
tawny,
olive
or
ash-coloured;
but
some
appear'd
of
an
Azure,
some
of
a
deep
Purple,
some
of
a
Grass-green,
some
of
a
Scarlet,
some
of
an
Orange-colour,
&c.
Which
Colours
and
Complexions,
whether
they
were
made
by
the
bare
reflection
of
light,
without
the
assistance
of
small
particles;
or
by
the
help
of
well-ranged
and
order'd
Atoms;
or
by
a
continual
agitation
of
little
Globules;
or
by
some
pressing
and
re-acting
motion,
I
am
not
able
to
determine.
