Marco Polo had seen the inhabitants of Zipangu place rose-coloured pearls in the mouths of the dead. Into these pavilions he admitted the elect, and there, says Marco Polo, gave them to eat a certain herb, which transported them to Paradise, in the midst of ever-blooming shrubs, ever-ripe fruit, and ever-lovely virgins. *Colonel Sir Henry Yule, The Book of Sir Marco Polo. |
