Excerpt from The Bridge of Time Not far from the river's edge, on the East bank, lay the beautiful temple gardens. Above the deli cate gray-green of the tamarisk showers and the waving feathery tops of the date palms just com ing into bloom, towered the massive Pylons of the Temple of amen-ra. On either side, silent, vast and unchanging, sat the image of the god, the great hands, with sculptured fingers straight and close-set, held stiflly on the knees, the wide, stone eyes gaz ing into that impenetrable future whose secrets the gods alone may know.
