He faced these doubts honestly, reverently, in his heart longing to accept the faith of his fathers, but in his head demanding proof and scientific exactness. The same struggle between head and heart, between reason and intuition, goes on to-day, and that is one reason why Arnold's poetry, which wavers on the borderland between doubt and faith, is a favorite with many readers.
Every one's eyes rested upon him, that is, all but Arnold's, which seemed holding some secret communion with the cupids on the ceiling, and the look of convulsive agony that swept across Ruth's face was unnoticed.
