For such is the Law, stern, unchangeable, shining;
[524] Making dung from souls and souls from dung;
Thrilling the dust to holy, beautiful spirit,
And returning the spirit to dust.
Come and ye shall know Peace and Joy.
Let what ye desire of the Universe penetrate you,
Let Loving-kindness and Mercy pass through you,
And Truth be the Law of your mouth.
For so ye are channels of the divine sea,
Which may not flood the earth but only steal in
Through rifts in your souls.
THE END

Its pathos, its humor, and its array of natural incidents are all satisfying. One must feel thankful for so finished and exquisite a story.... Not often do we find a more impressive piece of work.—N.Y. Sun.
A new novel from the pen of R.D. Blackmore is as great a treat to the fastidious and discriminating novel-reader as a new and rare dish is to an epicure.... A story to be lingered over with delight.—Boston Beacon.
