Somewhat higher, David's Car,142 ready for mounting, turns its

long pole towards the north star. The old Lithuanians know,

concerning this chariot, that the populace err in calling it

David's, since it is the Angel's Car. On it long ago rode

Lucifer, when he summoned God to combat, rushing at full gallop

along the Milky Way towards the threshold of heaven, until

Michael threw him from his car, and cast the car from the road.

Now it is stretched out ruined amid the stars; the Archangel

Michael will not allow it to be repaired.
