“I choose to believe that I owe my very

in life, all honest pride in doing my work in the world, all this
keen sense of being, I owe to her!" And it doubles the gladness,

to one--nay, you must, you shall hear'--said he, stepping
forwards with stern determination--'to one whom I love, as I do
not believe man ever loved woman before.' He held her hand tight
in his. He panted as he listened for what should come. ”

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
