Night and Day, he says, are there by turns ; when one goes in the other goes out. […] He disposed it in such a manner as to catch the lovers : then feigning a journey, set out as it were for Lemnos. […] She now turned to the islands, but none would receive her ; and the god called out to her that a floating island was to be his birth-place. […] She appears sometimes rising out of the sea and wringing her locks ; sometimes drawn in a conch by Tritons, or riding on some marine animal. […] She is therefore deprived of desire and her splendid fortune, is exposed to perils, and driven out of the palace.”
