He waits for some sign that the girl has drowned, but instead, sees her rise from the waves, dripping glory. What follows, the old man cannot comprehend, for instead of destroying the young woman as he expects, the Meri calls her into a lover’s embrace and draws her beneath the Sea. The old man cries in his sleep at his scene of diabolical heresy: The Inhabitant of the gleaming water beckons the girl answers the call. The brilliance of the water grows, and holds out ethereal arms to the one who waits. For Mereddyd-a-Lagan seeks a favor only bestowed upon young men-the Kiss of the Meri, the bestowal of the station of Osraed. Yet on this shore stands a girl, waiting for a favor from the Divine, a favor to which she has no right. That radiance-he has seen it before with his material eyes, a young man, then, at the end of a long journey. The old man writhes upon his couch, Struggling to turn his head away from the vision, desperate to close his eyes to the dream. No, not on the water, beneath it-within it. Yet there is light-laid out upon the surface of the water like a stole of palest green.
