He called, but never one of the Four answered. They were far
beyond earshot, singing over the spring songs--the Moon and
Sambhur Songs-- with the wolves of the pack; for in the spring-

day and the night. He gave the sharp, barking note, but his only
answer was the mocking maiou of the little spotted tree-cat
winding in and out among the branches for early birds' nests.
At this he shook all over with rage, and half drew his knife.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Salome by Oscar Wilde: LA VOIX D'IOKANAAN. Il est venu, le Seigneur! Il est venu, le fils
de l'Homme. Les centaures se sont caches dans les rivieres, et les
sirenes ont quitte les rivieres et couchent sous les feuilles dans
les forets.
SALOME. Qui a crie cela?
SECOND SOLDAT. C'est le prophete, princesse.
SALOME. Ah! le prophete. Celui dont le tetrarque a peur?
SECOND SOLDAT. Nous ne savons rien de cela, princesse. C'est le
prophete Iokanaan.
LE JEUNE SYRIEN. Voulez-vous que je commande votre litiere,
princesse? Il fait tres beau dans le jardin.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Mosses From An Old Manse by Nathaniel Hawthorne: have wandered about the earth with pictures of bliss in their
imagination, and with hearts that shrank sensitively from the
idea of pain and woe, yet have studied all varieties of misery

squalid chamber of the almshouse, the manufactory where the demon
of machinery annihilates the human soul, and the cotton field
where God's image becomes a beast of burden; to these and every
other scene where man wrongs or neglects his brother, the
apostles of humanity have penetrated. This missionary, black with
India's burning sunshine, shall give his arm to a pale-faced
brother who has made himself familiar with the infected alleys
