"Elissa; or, The Doom of Zimbabwe" from Black Heart and White Heart and Other Stories

'The arrow is poisoned'

'Tell me, Metem,... what mummery is this?'

'Away with you, woman'

'I have kept faith, keep it also, Aziel'

In front of this procession.. walked Elissa

'Doom is upon you!'

'I will do sacrifice'

'The trees in this camp of yours bear evil fruit, O King.'
