or so it seemed to her, and that the whole of this dome was made of the purest gold.
High overhead, in the very centre of the dome, was a circular opening
through which a shaft of light fell straight on to an equally circular lake whose dark, smooth waters resembled a jet-black mirror.
Just above the surface, glittering in the shaft of light with the brilliance of a star,
something was slowly and majestically moving back and forth.
Momo saw that it was a gigantic pendulum, but one with no visible means of support.
Apparently weightless, it soared and swooped above the mirror-smooth water with birdlike ease.
As the glittering pendulum slowly neared the edge of the lake, an enormous waterlily bud emerged from its dark depths.
The closer the pendulum came, the wider it opened, until at last it lay full-blown on the surface.
Momo had never seen so exquisite a flower.
It was composed of all the colours in the spectrum - brilliant colours such as Momo had never dreamed of.
While the pendulum hovered above it, she became so absorbed in the spectacle that she forgot everything else.
