O knihe

Excerpt from Dolores

AN April afternoon in fair Normandy,-an afternoon all the fresher and brighter for the new-fallen rain that has cleared the clouds from the sky, and left its only trace in the glistening drops which spangle the soft green leaves. How fair sweet mother earth looks, how joyous, how beaming, in the perennial youth that comes to her alone I The heart which feels no responsive throb to her brightness this day must indeed be deeply scored by pain and care. All nature is awake; soft scent of ¿owers, sweet song of birds fill the air, not with the drowsy lull ing languor of summer-time, but with the keen quickening vigor of awakening life and energy. An afternoon when one thanks God for life, when one's heart throbs with a sudden choking pity for the eyes that are closed to all this fair brightness, for the ears that no longer hear those sweet glad sounds, for the lips that are mute, ah, God! To us who once watched so wistfully for their unclosing.
