## Overview
This entity, labeled "IV.", is a section extracted from [pierre.txt](arke:01KG89J1JSYKSGCE149MH9HF6A), a file within the [Melville Complete Works](arke:01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW) collection. It spans lines 15169 to 15374 of the source text.
## Context
This section is part of [BOOK XXV. LUCY, ISABEL, AND PIERRE. PIERRE AT HIS BOOK. ENCELADUS.](arke:01KG8AJV1B1JH45RC3P9EDTPKQ). It follows section [III.](arke:01KG8AKHN66NK0QXXEMH96PQP9) and precedes section [V.](arke:01KG8AKHN650BZKE6SJBA8HR20) within the chapter.
## Contents
The section describes a "remarkable dream or vision" experienced by Pierre, where his surroundings are replaced by the "phantasmagoria of the Mount of the Titans." The narrative details the mountain's changing appearance, its former and current names ("The Delectable Mountain" and "Mount of the Titans"), and the presence of a white amaranthine flower on its pastures. The section culminates with a vivid description of the Titan Enceladus, writhing from the earth, and Pierre's realization that Enceladus's face is a "duplicate" of his own, leading him to awaken from the "ideal horror" to his "actual grief."
