Hor |
 | | Hor, gatherer of oils, priest of Montu, opener of the gates of heaven in Luxor, son of Ankhori and son of Karem; Hor, at one with Horus and Thoth, enshrined with Atum and carried to the cemetery with the Apis Bull; Hor stood silent in the dark corner. |
 | | Hor, preserved and wrapped, gilded -- the khat of thousands of years -- eyes fixed, the amulets and scarabs protecting hope, while all about there is the movement of the double in life -- the ka -- the spirit subject to gifts and offerings and the tomb-dweller in a land of the night. |
 | | The adze is brought near to the mouth and the ka of Hor and all spirit-forms of Hor then may be supported -- vortices spinning onwards -- the ka in the burial chamber and the offering chapel, the ka, simulacrum of Hor in life: the presence, arms raised and calling, calling. |
