Changes

{{Style P-Quote|“The Prophetess announced to me that we were upon the eve of a stupendous convulsion, which would destroy the then recognized value of all property upon earth, and declaring that those only who should be in the East at the time of the great change could hope for greatness in the new life that was now close at hand ; she advised me, while there was yet time, to dispose of my property in fragile England, and gain a station in Asia ; she told me that, after leaving her, I should go into Egypt, but that in a little while I should return into Syria. I secretly smiled at this last prophecy as a ‘bad shot,’ for I had fully determined, after visiting the pyramids, to take ship from Alexandria for Greece. But men struggle vainly in the meshes of their destiny ; the unbelieved Cassandra was right after all; the Plague came, and the necessity of avoiding the Quarantine, to which I should have been subjected if I had sailed from Alexandria, forced me to alter my route : I went down into Egypt, and staid here for a time, and then crossed the Desert once more, and came back to the mountains of the Lebanon, exactly as the Prophetess had foretold.”}}
