The Launching of the Ship'. Part one. 'The sail could not be hoisted in the ship-yard, even with the roof off, so the Captain ordered the Ship to be drawn up, and it poised on the point of the dome like a sunlit cloud - which in fact, the dull-witted passers-by in that mean street tool it to be. And if its radiance irritated their eyesight, its beauty or strangeness never impressed them. With its sheen of ivory and gold, and lustre of emerald and sapphire; its peacock hangingss and rose silk ropes, the Ship was nearly as beautiful as a sunset. And very few people there were in that neighborhood who realised that night was heralded by a sun that slipped down redly through the smoke'.
