Light streams through the pylon from before the face of Isis-Hathor, for she weareth the lunar crown of cows’ horns, with the disk in the centre; at her breast she beareth the child Horus. And there is a voice: thou knowest not how the Seven was united with the Four; much less then canst thou understand the marriage of the Eight and the Three.
