To the dancers dancing in tune.”

Caught up the whole of love, and uttered it.”

[CHAPTER IV.]
Myross Churchyard[32]

“O fair, large day!
The unpractised sense brings heavings from a sea of life too broad.”

‘What is it thou knowest, sweet voice?’ I cried.
‘A hidden hope,’ the voice replied.”

[CHAPTER V.]
Enter Willy[54]

And the little less, and what worlds away!”

And with a flying finger swept my lips.”

[CHAPTER VI.]

“Which do you pity the most of us three?”

[CHAPTER VII.]
“This Hidden Tide of Tears”[95]

“Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been.”

“Ah me! my heart, rememberest thou that hour,
When foolish hope made parting almost bright?
Hadst thou not then some warning of thy doom?”

Henceforward in thy shadow.”

[PART III.]
PROFIT AND LOSS.

“With morning wakes the will, and cries,
‘Thou shalt not be the fool of loss.’”

Through the dim air.”

[CHAPTER II.]
“But where is County Guy?”[173]

“What shall assuage the unforgotten pain,
And teach the unforgetful to forget?”

“‘Uncover ye his face,’ she said;
‘Oh, changed in little space!’”

“When Pity could no longer look on Pain.”

[CHAPTER IV.]
Storm[197]

“And all talk died, as in a grove all song
Beneath the shadow of some bird of prey;
Then a long silence came upon the hall,
And Modred thought, ‘The time is hard at hand.’”

“In the shaken trees the chill stars shake.
Hush! Heard you a horse tread as you spake,
Little Brother?”

[CHAPTER V.]

My pain was nothing; oh, your poor, poor love,
Your broken love!’”

[CHAPTER VI.]
A Resolve[223]

“Sad is my fate; I must emigrate
To the wilds of Amerikee.”

“In the fresh fairness of the spring to ride,
As in the old days when he rode with her.”

[CHAPTER VII.]
Through the French Window[239]

“Remorse she ne’er forsakes us;
A bloodhound staunch, she tracks our rapid step.”

“A thousand fantasies
Begin to throng into my memory,
Of calling shapes and beckoning shadows dire.”

[CHAPTER VIII.]
Poul-na-coppal[258]

“The rose-winged hours that flutter in the van
Of Love’s unquestioning, unrevealèd span—
Visions of golden futures; or that last
Wild pageant of the accumulated past
That clangs and flashes for a drowning man.”

“Wenn ich in deine Augen seh
So schwindet all’ mein Leid und Weh.”

[CHAPTER IX.]
A Heritage of Woe[274]

“Love that was dead and buried, yesterday
Out of his grave rose up before my face.”

“Not by appointment do we meet delight and joy—
They heed not our expectancy;
But, at some turning in the walks of life,
They on a sudden clasp us with a smile.”

[CHAPTER X.]
Lex Talionis[295]

“And now Love sang; but his was such a song,
So meshed with half-remembrance hard to free.”
