Un beau matin, chez un peuple fort doux, un homme et une femme superbes criaient sur la place publique: "Mes amis, je veux qu'elle soit reine!" "Je veux être reine!" Elle riait et tremblait. Il parlait aux amis de révélation, d'épreuve terminée. Ils se pâmaient l'un contre l'autre. En effet ils furent rois toute une matinée où les tentures carminées se relevèrent sur les maisons, et toute l'après-midi, où ils s'avancèrent du côté des jardins de palmes.

A beautiful morning, among a most gentle people, a superb man and woman, cry out in a public square: "My friends, I wish to make her your queen!" "I wish to be your queen!," she cries, and trembles. He speaks to his friends of revelation, of finished ordeals. They swoon, one against the other. Indeed, they were kings all that morning while the crimson hangings went up on the houses, and all that afternoon, when they advanced toward the coast through gardens of palms.
