Explore "The Valley of Vision" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the darkest hour before the dawn, Diana floated away from her Garden Tower and came down between the Lions on the Library Steps.
At first, she did not know they were Lions. She thought they were Cats, and so she was afraid. For she was very lightly clad; and (except in Egypt) Cats are terrible to undomesticated goddesses. Diana shivered as she strung her bow for defense. She felt that she was divine, but she knew that she had cold feet.
