The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
85
After
some
short
time,
the
Worm-men
returned,
and
told
the
Empress,
that
when
they
went
into
the
Earth,
they
inquired
of
all
the
Creatures
they
met
withal,
Whether
none
of
them
had
perceived
such
or
such
Spirits;
until
at
last
coming
to
the
very
Center
of
the
Earth,
they
were
truly
informed,
that
those
Spirits
had
stayed
some
time
there,
but
at
last
were
gone
to
the
Antipodes
on
the
other
side
of
the
Terrestrial
Globe,
diametrically
opposite
to
theirs.
The
Fly-men
seconded
the
Wormmen,
assuring
her
Majesty,
that
their
relation
was
very
true;
for,
said
they,
We
have
rounded
the
Earth,
and
just
when
we
came
to
the
Antipodes,
we
met
those
Spirits
in
a
very
good
condition,
and
acquainted
them
that
your
Majesty
was
very
much
troubled
at
their
sudden
departure,
and
fear'd
they
should
be
buried
in
the
darkness
of
the
Earth:
whereupon
the
Spirits
answered
us,
That
they
were
sorry
for
having
occasioned
such
sadness
and
trouble
in
your
Majesty;
and
desired
us
to
tell
your
Majesty,
that
they
feared
no
darkness;
for
their
Vehicles
were
of
such
a
sort
of
substance
as
Cats
eyes,
Glow-worms
tails,
and
rotten
Wood,
carrying
their
light
along
with
them;
and
that
they
were
ready
to
do
your
Majesty
what
service
they
could,
in
making
your
Cabbala.
At
which
Relation
the
Empress
was
exceedingly
glad,
and
rewarded
both
her
Fly-
and
Worm-men
bountifully.
