This reunion of the Manatitlans with their Corcovadian colonistic outposts occurred on or about the 17th day of August, 1071 of your era. The voyage had been well sustained by the novice12 falcons, notwithstanding their recently acquired art of taking flying fish, and feeding while beating support with their wings under the favoring aid of the parachute. But 194hunger is an apt teacher of method with available means for its appeasement15. The first warning the aeronauts received of their near approach to the land of their destination was the invasion from the windward of a suffocating16 odor, of the most disgusting taint17, that pervaded18 the howdahs and assailed19 their olfactories20, causing a violent retching, that made them apprehend4 pending21 calamity22. But the pilots, when sufficiently23 recovered from the sudden invasion, consulted their charts of odor currents “laid down” by old navigators, and found that the nauseating24 cause of alarm proceeded from the confluent waft25 of Celtic and Congo exhalations from humanity, with the conjunctive loom26 of garlic odor in eructation from the inhabitants of Portugal, Spain, and south of France conveyed seaward by the evening land breeze, marked F?disima allium exhalata ab homine. After giving vent7 to humorous instinctive27 comparisons referring to the gross habits necessary for the production of odors so foul28 in their distant waft, the old peak of rendezvous29 on the island of Corvo saluted30 their glad vision.
Our reception by the Corcovadians was affectionate beyond comparison, fully31 enlisting32 our utmost resources in reciprocation33. When the exuberance34 of our mingled35 congratulations had subsided36 into the calm current of sympathetic inquiry37, we soon became aware of their loving troth to Manatitlan habits and customs. In evidence of the lealty of their alliance they had diminished a third in numbers, as they averred38, with a marked improvement in all the essentials of affectionate purity and goodness, manifest alike in the conservation of physical and thoughtful development. In answer to our solicitous39 inquiries40 with regard to the welfare of the Animalculan and Giga population of the islands and mainland, they answered that the inhabitants of the islands had become more barbarously enlightened and destructive in tendency than they were in our ancestors’ time; our 195Mouthpat deportations having added fuel to the degenerative tendency of the islanders. Still the good example of the colonists41 had attracted a desire on the part of parents that their children should be educated under their instruction.
After a week’s sojourn42 with the Corcovadians, Soartus continued his flight to Rome, taking with him as many of the islanders as the howdahs could accommodate. “Soaring to our first poise43 above the peaks of the Asturian mountains, we hailed with matin song of praise the broad disc of the sun as it reflected, in ascendency from the horizon, the inequalities of the countries beneath in panoramic44 light and shadow. As it rose in the full splendor45 of its mellowed46 morning beams, dispelling47 with sparkling reflection the dewy mists of night, a scene of surpassing beauty greeted our vision. From north to south, on the western confines of the Iberian peninsula, a lofty range of intervaled mountains formed an inviting48 attraction for the mist clouds, which dispensed49 their moisture as an ever replenishing source of rivers and streams, that in descent received tributary50 contributions rendering51 with their water supply the valleys fertile. In continuation from the extreme south, a sea-coast range of lesser52 height formed an interior basin, by circle inclosure to the east and north. Within this, cities and hamlets were scattered53 with seeming indications of peaceful repose54. Our eyes were held entranced with the beautiful scene; and we wondered how man, gifted with rational powers of discernment, could fail to discover in the lovely blendings Creative indications designed for his direction in the paths of peace and purity. The falcons, left to the guidance of their own pleasurable instincts, just cleared the topmost sprays of the trees in their gliding55 circuits, but in soaring above villages and cities the volantaphs raised their flight beyond the reach of missile weapons. While passing over the city of Leon from north to south, we 196saw men, women, and children, flocking in crowds to the western gate. Curious to learn the cause of this early commotion56, so unwonted from the descriptions we had read of Iberian habits, the falcons were directed over the point of attraction. Clearing in circling descent the spires57 and towers of the cathedral church, our ears were saluted with the mingled bellowings of a seemingly enraged58 animal, and loud shouts arising from a multitudinous collection of voices pitched in range from the shrill59 stridency of childhood, through the medium grades of maturity60, to the vacuous61 piping tones of senility. Over-reaching the gate towers, we beheld62 collected in an amphitheatre within wooden barriers, a large concourse of people, intently gazing with boisterous63 plaudits upon an encounter between a horned animal of the quadruped species and armed men with garments covered with tinsel. The sides of the enraged beast were dabbled64 and trickling65 with gore66, from the many wounds inflicted67 by the knives and spears of the “sportsmen.” In quick apprehension68 of the effect of this cruel pastime, which had caused our wives to give utterance69 to a cry of pitying horror, the volantaphs suddenly depressed70 the falcon’s tail from the “bishop’s run to the pope’s nose” causing it to fan-spread, intercepting71 the view of objects beneath from the howdah; then soaring to a poise, soon left the revolting scene and arbiters72 of cruel instinct beyond the compass of eyes and ears. One of our Corcovadian correlatives then explained the nature and origin of the amusement. He said that it was styled by the Spanish a taurista, and when it commenced at sunrise it was styled “taurista hiquete para almuerzo.” The practice was said to have been derived73 originally from a race inhabiting an island in the northern ocean, who utilized74 the flesh of the slain75 brutes76, and as a sequence assimilated their pugnacious78 characteristics.
“Here the volantaph directed our attention to the 197cultivated beauties of the Apuljarras of the Sierra Constantina, glowing in the morning sun with the brightest tints79 of verdure. Wooded and vine-covered slopes in ever varying contrast with the colored transitions of Moslem80 taste in the adornment81 of their dwellings82, offered the strongest evidence of peaceful desire, notwithstanding minarets83 indicating fanatical worship abounded84 in cities, villages, and hamlets. As we neared these scenes, citizens and busy cultivators were seen engaged in their varied85 occupations, their forms reduced by distance from giga size to tits, reminded us of our own happy Manatitlan homes. The swift flight of the falcons conveyed the impression, from change in perspective, of gliding transitions of the same persons into varied employments, as if endowed with illimitable versatility86. These pleasing illusions, which in slower flight, and nearer approach, would have truthfully depicted87 the miserable88 realities of servile selfishness, so much dreaded89 in foreboded encounter with the Giga races of Europe and Asia, caused Uffea, the wife of Soartus, to exclaim, with a long drawn90 sigh—“If they could only see and know us, I am sure they could not resist our happy example that would make this scene a reality? They surely would not refuse a joyous91 boon92 that would make these blooming valleys and verdant93 hills echo with songs of gladness raised in morning and evening praise? What joy for the future Manatitlan voyagers while floating over these lovely creations, if our people could be made the means of making these groves94 and hill-sides resound95 with songs of praise to unite in their fullness, with our peoples, in mid96 air responses?” Our hopeful sighs united with the desire that her vision might prove prophetic. But alas97, our falcons had scarce attained98 their poise for descent to the Valentinian shore, when fierce human cries, and the loud clangor and blasts from cymbals99 and trumpets100, resounded101 from the plain below. The volantaphs 198reverse in the direction of the falcons for descent, brought into view two hosts engaged in battle encounter, each in defiant102 utterance shouting their war cries, one, “Dios y Santiago,” and the opposed “Allah é Profeta.” No persuasion103 could induce our wives to venture a glance toward the fearful scene, and at their request the volantaphs changed the falcon’s course to shut out the view.
Our Corcovadian correlative in defining the casus belli, said, that those fighting under the standard that bore the device of a grotesque104 head covering, supported by crossed keys, were styled Christians106, and the words, God and Saint James, which they ejaculated with their blows, were the names of the alleged107 author and favorite supporter of their creed108, which theoretically inculcated peace and goodwill109 among men. While those arrayed under the crescent banner, who were as vehemently110 calling upon their god and prophet, were enjoined111 by their creed to destroy all who denied the divinity of the prophet. Both alike, in practice, upheld the absurd inconsistency of their creeds112 with the destructive fanaticism113 of instinctive passion. “As you will in Rome be forced to give heed114 to the brutal115 enactments118 practiced under the style of religion, and opposing variations in Constantinople and Jerusalem, it will be well to advise you of the texts that are quoted in train by the Christian105 sect119, who are exhorted120, in the battle cry, to strike for the God of Israel, and Saint James,—kill and spare not! The grateful teeth of the saws read in this wise, Do good to those who despitefully treat thee! He that smiteth thee on one cheek turn to him the other also! He that gives to the poor, lendeth to the Lord. Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will return to you increased an hundred fold. These renderings121 of implied selfishness in mild vapory language, you have seen exemplified in enactments this morning; but you have 199still to undergo the painful infliction122 of sympathy for physical torments123 that priestcraft imposes, with the anticipation124 of ‘hellish’ power, for the punishment of dissenting125 heretics. The Moslems, who are fighting under the crescent standard, advocate sensual lunacy, with the prescribed belief in a heavenly haram peopled with houri,—a name that they bestow126 upon sensuously127 beatific128 women, who in Christian terms are styled angels,—these are used as lures129 for inciting130 the lusts131 of the faithful in blind subserviency132 to the commands of their leaders. Like their Christian opponents, the masses depend solely133 upon priestly interpretation134 for the reconciliation135 of contradictory136 passages in their creed, openly bestowing137 their reverential fealty138 upon the sensually mad, who are called saints or santons, esteeming139 the touch of their lewd140 filthiness141 as a vise for heavenly reward. Their priests, who are styled dervishes, wear the same hermaphrodite vestments in ceremonial enactments that distinguish their Christian counterparts, deriving142 oracular inspiration from dizziness invoked143 by rapid whirling gyrations. But as I see that you are oppressed with sorrowful disgust, in view of the rank stupidity you are about to encounter, we will allow you, with these premonitions, to verify the construction we give of the ancient giga Roman senator’s apothegm, which should have been, ‘whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make sensually mad.’ With the instinctive example of destructive hatred144 inculcated as a morning lesson for appetizing the kindred germ of children’s passions, in the bloody145 struggle between inhuman146 art aids and brute77 strength, exhibited in the bull’s blind rage, we can easily fill the intervening space in life with occupations in qualification for the battle enactments of the meridian147.”
With the volantaph’s announcement that he was about to bring the falcon to a poise which would afford the occupants of the howdah an equidistant 200view of the peninsulas of Spain and Italy, a retrospective glance was cast backward. The keen Manatitlan sight, intensified148 with ardent149 admiration150 for the glowing beauties of the Iberian landscape, soon became absorbed in tracing the rare combinations of mountain and valley verdure, merging151 and varying in blending tints from the sun’s declining cast of light and shadow, until startled with Uffea’s sudden call, Alew! (look!) Recalled by her startled cry, our attention was attracted by her steadfast152 look, to the Valentian shore, and there beheld the victorious153 Christians in pursuit of the vanquished154 Moslems, vindicating155 the cry of their priests, “Kill and spare not.” “Alas,” tearfully sighed Uffea, “is it not enough that they yield the victory? of what avail the bodies of the flying, living or dead, that the victors still ruthlessly pursue and slay156?”
Anxious to escape from even a distant view of the carnage, the volantaph brought the falcon to a poise and in descent opened to view the peninsula of Italy. In anxious search for the abiding157 place of their colonistic correlatives, their attention was soon attracted to the largest collection of buildings, and as the falcon’s circuits narrowed in near approach, their eyes sought for signals of recognition. These, from a “bird’s eye” view chart of the prominent buildings in the vicinage of Rome, soon became visible, not only from the coliseum, the chief settlement of their colonies, but from every town and hamlet within the reach of vision. With a near approach to the arcades158 every available place in the Ionic range was filled to overflowing160 with beaming faces and outstretched arms in token of joyful welcome. But a few moments elapsed before the falcons were safely moored161 in the old “New Port,” and the howdahs thronged162 with forms and faces that required no introduction by speech for the test of nationality. Without words, joyful tears, sighs, kisses, and embraces were not 201alone conceded as the special privilege of womanly affection, but the interchange of these instinctive tokens under the kindly163 promptings of gladness became general. If there was hesitation164 indicating speech, those on the outside pressed forward to interrupt the useless waste of words. For at least a full half hour this voiceless scene continued unabated, then the pr?tor of Coliseo parleyed. “Citizens of Romelia, forbear? What have these, of our kin14, done in the lapse11 of ages, that you suffocate165 them with kisses and embraces? Are they, in the fullness of our joy, to be denied the viaticum of welcome words? or do you intend to despatch166 them with the silent interdiction167 of tidings we have waited and longed for while yet unborn to the world of mortality? Make way for your pr?tor! Fie upon you, Oluissandra! that you, the wife of the chief magister of Coliseo, should fail to use your tongue in speech, when its words would be welcome!”
With this laughing admonition a tall active giantesco sprang into the howdah, and seizing a sprightly169 medium woman by the shoulders, as she was about to embrace Uffea, turned her briskly round, with the exclamation170, “Now for some system? I am ashamed of you, Olui! Where is your boasted presence of mind and pity? and voice, so easily aroused in gratuitous171 sympathy for your Giga auramentees? Do you suppose that this little handful of women can withstand the battery of Coliseo’s thousands, softly placable as they are, without having their lips and faces flayed172? Now Signorina Manatitliana, this is my wife Oluissandra Peasiffea, of the twelfth generation in descent from the Peasiffeas of Manicul?,—that is, I am, and she shares my loving pedigree, with a worthy173 merit that exceeds my own.”
Before the last clause, Uffea had embraced the wife of the Coliseo pr?tor with cousinly warmth. The husband laughingly thanked her for honoring his 202spouse with such affectionate returns upon the strength of relationship, but hoped that the slight deviation174 from the “giga lineal” would not prove a bar to the full expression of loving confidence. This diversion set the women’s tongues in motion, with trills and fugues, which were followed by the men’s deeper tones, in more measured accents of curious inquiry. With the sun’s decline all united in a hymn175 of thanksgiving. As the gathering176 shades of twilight177 deepened, Oluissandra reminded her husband that the Manatitlan howdahs were poorly adapted for the reception of the pr?tor of Coliseo’s guests upon an occasion so extraordinary? “If the public records are to be trusted,” she said, “they will bear testimony178 that it has been customary for the chief magisters to offer their guests the hospitality of their houses. It will hardly consort179 with precedent180, if the scribe should in record addenda181 state that the pr?tor Peasiffea entertained his Manatitlan relatives in their own howdahs, at the reunion of their peoples, after centuries of separation. I am sorry,” she continued, “that courtesy obliges me to give you this public reproof182, but your ‘head and heart’ should have been on the alert to give a suitable welcome, as the long delay might conjure183 sensitive doubts questioning the sincerity184 of your joy.”
The pr?tor gave his wife a look of quizzical gratitude185 at this rejoinder couched in Giga style, reminding the chief and his wife of the Dosch’s humorous sallies. In like manner they were constantly reminded of home faces and scenes by revived similitude in impression. Among the Manatitlans, and their Corcovadian correlatives, the questioning query186 would pass, “Who does this or that person remind you of?” or “How familiar that voice sounds.” When the resemblance was mentioned, the likeness187 was found to have been transmitted by collateral188 branches. The pr?tor, acting189 upon his wife’s suggestion, 203our falcons received the attention they required from Coliseo volantaphs, the mews having been kept in readiness for their reception from generation to generation, in constant expectation of their reappearance. Our own apartments, which adjoined those of the pr?tor, were in the foliated cyma of the capital surmounting190 the second arch of the Corinthian Arcade159. On our way the pr?tor pointed191 out the improvements devised and executed by his predecessors192, regretting that their comparatively indestructible works should be ingrafted upon one of the perishable193 follies194 of the Roman empire for its more extended time durability195.
At dawn, on the morning succeeding our arrival, anxious throngs196 were awaiting to greet us with salutations of joyful welcome. Many of these had come from distant districts to participate in the rejoicings of an occasion so auspicious197 for the united welfare of the colonies. Among the visitors, there came from the St. Angelo department the Dosch of Romalia. He had started with the first announcement of the falcons, and traversed the city of the gigas during the height of one of their saturnalian feasts of flesh, which precedes the lighter198 indulgences of fasting upon a fish and lentil diet. After the morning salutations, the falcons were employed in excursions for the practical instruction of the native volantaphs. On the third day after our arrival, the Dosch and pr?tor consulted the chief of the Manatitlans upon a subject that had been a source of disquietude to the colonists.
“We have deferred199 the unpleasant subject we are about to introduce, to the latest possible moment consistent with the responsibility of our charge,” said the pr?tor of Coliseo, “that the impression of our welcome might remain cheerful until you had fully compared the extent of our worthiness200 with your expectations. The sooner anxiety is dispelled201 with 204a knowledge of impending202 evil the better. The Mouthpat seed our mutual203 ancestors sowed, just before the close of the first falcon era, in taking root assimilated with the native Animalculan races, and in process imparted their own deleterious habits and prejudices to their entertainers. With a wider scope for the gratification of their sensual instincts, they soon united with the democratic rabble204 of Rome in opposing what they termed our pedantic205 puritanism. With their coadjutive stimulation206 our allies in the exampled practice of purity and goodness were subjected to annoyances207 and persecutions and were denied the right of local option, as natives, in selecting for themselves a choice of education for their children. As we could not extend our protection to the good throughout the broad expanse of Rome, we established self-supporting colonies in the country as asylums208 of resort for the oppressed, so that in consolidated209 association they might receive our more effective support and aid. Still, in defiance210 of intimidation211 and actual injuries, we had more applications for the admission of Roman children to our schools than we could accommodate. The deported212 Mouthpats, from the first, became adherent213 imitators of Giga habits and customs, and fanatically zealous214 in support of the Catholic dogmas. Before their advent6, the Animalculans of Rome had been content that the Giga priests should enact116 their parts in ceremonial worship. But the Mouthpats urged that the practice of vicarious worship through a race barred from direct communication by mouth interlocution was a subterfuge215 of the most damnable tendency. Their labors216 for the reconstruction217 of the ritualistic tenets, and regeneration of the Animalculans from proxied dependency upon Giga religious administration, was finally rewarded with the election of a pope of Mouthpat descent. This pope, Innocent the First, in Mouthpat designation, now occupies the silicoth residences 205relinquished to the first cargo218 of his ancestors, by ours on their removal to the Coliseum. In imitation of Giga example, although he claims higher merit from his strict administration of the ordinances219 of the church, he has established a court of inquisition for the trial and punishment of heretics.
“One of the first acts of the court was the proclamation of an interdict168 prohibiting the Romans from holding communication with the Coliseos under the penalty of excommunication from the only true and holy church. We well understood the term excommunication in context, although the court was wary220 in using threats of torture and death, against the parents who had entrusted221 their children to our care, until they had tested our disposition222 by overt223 acts of intimidation. For this purpose they have arrested the parents of our pupils on their return to Rome after paying their monthly visits to their children. To-morrow they celebrate a saint’s day, in the calendar of the Mouthpat Church, and are erecting224 in the gutter-leads of the church of San Lorenzo, lists with barriers and the usual requisites225 necessary for the accommodation of spectators, and actors that engage in the barbarous follies of a tournament. But the real object is the inauguration226 of an inquisitorial chapter. The pomp and ceremonials only serving as an introductory blind, that will hold pity in check by arousing the passions with chivalric227 show in brutal enactment117 as a placebo228 for the final catastrophe229. In order that the pomp might equal that of their Giga exemplars, who are engaged in preparing for a like celebration, they in anticipation sent challenges to the most celebrated230 and valorous representatives of Animalculan knighthood throughout the courts of Europe, subject to a like defiance from their Giga contemporaries; whose heralds232 acted as the locomotive beasts of burden for the transportation of their parasitic233 knights234 errant. To prevent imposition, the 206field kings of all the countries in Christendom, subject to Animalculan sway, were requested to add their attest235 to the order and standing13 of the knight231 applicants236, also to the service reputation of esquires emulous of achieving the honorable distinction of wearing golden spurs. The requirements of those desirous of contending for love and honor in the lists, on roachback with spear and sword, were—to be of pure lineage, of not less than three generations, in affirmed descent, free from the attaint of mesalliance. The squires237 were to be second sons of a parentage alike eligible238 for the distinctions of knighthood. That the trains of each knight should be well satisfied with their allotment, the third day was set apart for their contention239 with arms suited to their stations in life; ample means were to be furnished for the eating and drinking entertainment of all comers. The knights summoned had already arrived in train with the Gigas who had been cited for the tournament in preparation for the first crusade designed for the redemption of the holy sepulchre from the possession of the infidel Saracens, in which the Animalculans will also engage. The first course, in this tournament of human instinct, will be inaugurated after a grand high mass, to be held in conjunction with the Gigas, the priests of both races joining in the ceremonial administration of the rites240. After the grand ‘entre’ the first course will be run between Count Marceroni, the Roman champion, and any knight bold enough to accept his challenge. The first encounters are to be on roachback with spears, in support of the affirmed superiority, in beauty, of the contestant’s countrywomen, or “ladies,” in the style of the challenge. The proclamation sets forth241 that the encounter will be conducted in freedom from the slights of incantation, or other surreptitious advantages, in fair and open battle, The first unroached will be declared vanquished, yielding to the victor the right 207of heralding242 the supremacy243 of his countrywomen’s beauty, with the privilege of selecting from them a queen to reign244 during the continuance of the jousts246, as the empress paramount247 of love, honor, and beauty. The second day’s joust245 will be a contention with axes, maces, and thorn sticks; the victor will be awarded the privilege of selecting a lady to preside over the distribution of prizes to the successful in the melée, or herd248 encounters of third day’s strife249.
“This sketch250 of the announced proceedings251, will give you an idea of the amusements patronized by the Gigas under the ‘angelic’ supervision252 of women, with the sounding style of chivalric. But with both races, the preliminary amusements are devised as placebos253 to invite in transition awe254, rather than indignation and horror for the final tragedy of human sacrifice. Your opportune255 arrival will, with falcon aid, render our service effectual in baffling their intended murderous enactment, if our emprise meets with your approval.”
The chief and his associates warmly approved of the course proposed, offering to undertake alone the hazard of its successful issue, that the reproof might be in effect more significant of intention in the event of future transgressions256. The scenes enacted257 at the tournament, the Dosch said he would relate in quotation258 from the chronicler Titview’s letter to Giganteo.
