And she must have agreed, because the whole night long, while the blue planet pursued its course through the ark unknown, and Tallac, crowned with stars, stood its perpetual watch, the only sounds from the bed were sounds to make even the gods jealous, sighs of dreams come true and cries of purest delight.
