THE ELLISIAN FIELDS Here 'mid the bleale waves of our rtrife and care Float the green 'fortunate irler' . . . So, reading thus, Jhe Jlept and dreamed a dream, Seeing a wondrour place Wherein the jieldr that .the had read about Were filled with folk of then, and now, All having attributer of her own world AJ well as ofthe days of long ago. As she was walking through the green fields she found to her surprise that she was being led by a guide, obviously immortal, slender, fair-haired, with winged cap,' and sandals with feathers on their heels. Who are you and what is this curious land? said she. You are in the Ellisian Fields and I am the messenger of this country sent by our rulers to welcome and escort you through our royal domain , came the reply. Then this goddess whose name, in truth, was Herma, continued to make known the customs and habits of this curious land and of its inhabitants. This country was strange in that, instead of being composed of a single people, it was a combination of many, all of one race, acting, speaking, and dressing alike, with each division differing from the other as to age and experience. Each group of the Ellisian Fields had a kingdom of its own wherein its members played and worked, yet all come together from time to time for festivals and were ruled by a common code of laws. The legislators of this land had traits of certain divinities and heroes of whom she had already heard, and were known as the Olympians. This band governed all the country, meeting at regular inter- vals to discuss among themselves the welfare of each person and administrating for the good of the entire populace. But most wondrous to hear, the folks were female all! l Then, Come',, quoth Herma, behold that of which I have been speakingf' And swift as a summer breeze she saw: Fwe ELLISIAN FIELDS
