From "Sophia", by Olivia Robertson:
"Companions, let us contemplate the Awakening of Taurus and Isis. . . Gaze with me upon the glory of the black sky of winter. With the eyes of
wondering childhood we see the starry cluster of the Pleiades as dancing nymphs
moving across the sky. They come with the white bull, Serapis, who rises from
the milky sky river, Eridanus. His baleful left eye gleams like a red torch, and
within it are all lost memories. In his eye is held forever the beauty of the
Goddess; and her forked cows' horns may be seen behind his. Following him
strides the hawk-headed giant Sahu-Orion-Horus of the Southern sky. And rising
from the milky sea of heaven comes great Isis, and on Her brow is the full moon
and in her right hand She holds Her star, Anuki, Sirius that holds the immortal
twin spirits of Osiris and Herself. This is the story of eternal love and life,
of the losing and the gaining of the death in the West and the rising in the
East. Contemplate and wonder."
