The first queen bore him and reared him; the second loved him and slew him; the third anointed him and laid him to rest in the House of Spirals. His soul was carried in her ark across the water to the first queen once again. It was five days' sail in the ark of acacia-wood across the water. It was five day's sail from the Land of the Unborn. To the City of Birth it was five days' sail; five sea-beasts drew the ark along to the sound of music. There the queen bore him and named him Jerahmeel, the Moon's beloved.
From King Jesus - Robert Graves.
