Chapter 13 ruin room

The melting moonlight casts a light veil on the jungle around the ruins of Sun City; everything is silent, and the large ruins sound like giants. They have experienced many vicissitudes, but they are still cynical. At this time, two phantoms appeared in the sky, like two clouds of mist rising from the blue lake.They sat on a marble column which time had uprooted from the strange structure.The two of them stared around what seemed to be a magic stage.After a while, one of them raised his head and said in a voice that seemed to echo in the valley: "Darling! These are the ruins of the temple I built for you; those are the ruins of the palace I built for you. Now, they have been razed to the ground, and only the ruins remain, telling the world about my life. The great feats created by the common people. My dear! Look! The cities I built were destroyed by nature; the philosophy I advocated was despised by later generations; the kingdom I built was long forgotten. Only the delicate love that springs from your beauty, and the beauty's product that is revived by your love. I have built a temple in Jerusalem, and the priests consecrated it, but the years have destroyed it; I have built a temple of love in my breast, God has made it holy, and no power can destroy it. I have spent my life exhausting myself, investigating all phenomena, and being exhausted about everything. , so people said: What a wise prince he is! But the angels said: He is very clever! Then I saw you, my dear! I sang to you a song of love, and the angels sang for it Joy, but people don't notice... When I was a monarch, it seemed that there were barriers separating my thirsty heart from the beautiful soul that is embodied in all things in the world; When I saw you, love woke up and destroyed all the obstacles, so I regretted the wasted years. In those years, I gave up on myself and thought that everything in the world was fake. I used to Made the false armor, and forged the shield, and the tribes feared me. And when love made me clear, I was despised, and even my subjects despised me. But when death came, he took the false armor and shield in the earth, and take my love to God."

After a moment of silence, the second phantom said: "Just as the flower gets its fragrance and life from the earth, so the soul draws its wisdom and strength from the weaknesses and errors of matter." The two phantoms merged together and went away.After a while, this sentence echoed in the air: "Only love remains in the immortal world, because it is also immortal."
