From Sphinx to Oracle: Through the Libyan Desert to the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from From Sphinx to Oracle: Through the Libyan Desert to the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon
HE who has challenged the stony stare Of the Sphinx, alone, in the sonorous silence Of the desert, in the mellow moonlight, is apt to read his own interpretation of the mystery of life and Of death, which perhaps it symbolizes.
The Sphinx ignores the desert at its feet, which the bounteous Nile converts into a garden of delight. Its gaze is bent on the sand-swept horizon, the threshold of the Unknown, the bourn of the Spirit world. It is a dream in stone.
