The Virgin had appeared to two children on a hill. By another
coincidence, this Saturday was the eve of the Festival of Our Lady
of Seven Dolours. And she appeared as Our Lady of Tears in that
desert landscape of stubborn rocks and dismal hills. Weeping
bitterly, She had uttered reproofs and threats. The fame of this
event spread far and wide; frantic thousands scrambled up fearful
paths to a spot so high that trees could not grow there. Suddenly
the peaks parted, a wide opening brought the train out into broad
daylight; the scene lay clear before them, terrible on all sides.
"Le Drac " exclaimed the Abbe Gevresin, pointing to a sort of
liquid serpent at the bottom of the precipice, writhing and tossing
between rocks in the very jaws of the pit.
The story revolves round the angelic and mysterious hermaphrodite
Seraphita who seems to inspire love in all she meets. The battle
for her affection leads Wilf and Minna past earthly knowledge and
into the deeper mysteries of life. Set against the rugged landscape
of 18th century Norway, Seraphita is the most unusual and bizarre
novel in Balzac's Comedie Humaine.
