The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
90
The
onely
thing,
answered
the
Duchess,
in
Morality,
is
but,
To
fear
God,
and
to
love
his
Neighbour,
and
this
needs
no
further
interpretation.
But
then
I'le
make
a
Political
Cabbala,
said
the
Empress.
The
Duchess
answered,
That
the
chief
and
onely
ground
in
Government,
was
but
Reward
and
Punishment,
and
required
no
further
Cabbala;
But,
said
she,
If
your
Majesty
were
resolved
to
make
a
Cabbala,
I
would
advise
you,
rather
to
make
a
Poetical
or
Romancical
Cabbala,
wherein
you
may
use
Metaphors,
Allegories,
Similitudes,
&c.
and
interpret
them
as
you
please.
With
that
the
Empress
thank'd
the
Duchess,
and
embracing
her
Soul,
told
her
she
would
take
her
Counsel:
she
made
her
also
her
Favourite,
and
kept
her
sometime
in
that
World,
and
by
this
means
the
Duchess
came
to
know
and
give
this
Relation
of
all
that
passed
in
that
rich,
populous,
and
happy
World;
and
after
some
time
the
Empress
gave
her
leave
to
return
to
her
Husband
and
Kindred
into
her
Native
World,
but
upon
condition,
that
her
Soul
should
visit
her
now
and
then;
which
she
did:
and
truly
their
meeting
did
produce
such
an
intimate
friendship
between
them,
that
they
became
Platonick
Lovers,
although
they
were
both
Femals.
