The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
83
Then
she
begg'd
the
Spirits
to
pardon
her
presumption;
for,
said
she,
It
is
the
nature
of
Mankind
to
be
inquisitive.
Natural
desire
of
knowledg,
answered
the
Spirits,
is
not
blameable,
so
you
do
not
go
beyond
what
your
Natural
Reason
can
comprehend.
Then
I'le
ask
no
more,
said
the
Empress,
for
fear
I
should
commit
some
error;
but
one
thing
I
cannot
but
acquaint
you
withal:
What
is
that,
said
the
Spirits?
I
have
a
great
desire,
answered
the
Empress,
to
make
a
Cabbala.
What
kind
of
Cabbala
asked
the
Spirits?
The
Empress
answered,
The
Jews
Cabbala.
No
sooner
had
the
Empress
declared
her
Mind,
but
the
Spirits
immediately
disappeared
out
of
her
sight;
which
startled
the
Empress
so
much,
that
she
fell
into
a
Trance,
wherein
she
lay
for
some
while;
at
last
being
come
to
her
self
again,
she
grew
very
studious,
and
considering
with
her
self
what
might
be
the
cause
of
this
strange
dysaster,
conceived
at
first,
that
perhaps
the
Spirits
were
tired
with
hearing
and
giving
answers
to
her
Questions;
but
thinking
by
her
self,
That
Spirits
could
not
be
tired,
she
imagined
that
this
was
not
the
true
cause
of
their
disappearing,
till,
after
divers
debates
with
her
own
thoughts,
she
did
verily
believe
that
the
Spirits
had
committed
some
fault
in
their
answers,
and
that
for
their
punishment
they
were
condemned
to
the
lowest
and
darkest
Vehicles.
