Book Name: Three Novels of Ancient Egypt
Writer: Naguib Mahfouz
THE POSSESSOR of Divine Grandeur and Lordly Awe, Khufu, child of
Khnum, reclined on his plated sofa, on the overhang of the
antechamberoverlooking his lavish and distant nursery. This heaven was
immortal Memphis herself, the City of the White Walls. Around him was a
band of his children and his dearest companions. His luxurious shroud with
its golden trim sparkled in the beams of the sun, which had started its
excursion to the western skyline. He sat smoothly and calmly, his back
resting cushions loaded down with ostrich quills, his elbow installed in a
pillow whose silk cover was striped with gold. The sign of his highness
showed his grand temple and raised look, while his staggering force was
displayed by his wide chest, swelling lower arms, and his glad, aquiline
nose. He bore all the poise of his two-score years and the glorious aura of
Pharaoh. His penetrating eyes ran to and fro between his children and his
companion’s, prior to moving relaxed forward, where the sun was
setting behind the highest points of the date palms.
