Nor, on the other hand, will you ever discover what a noble task it is what a divine task and how divinely assisted and divinely recompensed. You will not know what a kennel of hell-hounds your own heart is till you have long sought to enter it and cleanse it out. And after you have done your utmost, and your best, death will hurry you away from your but half-accomplished task.
I pity you, my dear Joan," added Antoinette, laughingly. "You are dying with longing to hear one of those romances without words, which M. Larinski plays so divinely; and if M. Larinski be the man of the letter, his own avowal prohibits him from appearing before me again. How can you extricate yourself from this dilemma? The case is embarrassing."
He stood still in his excitement, a smile of the most exquisite quality and sweetness dawning on his strong young face. 'And then, he went on, beginning to walk again, and talking much more to the night than to his companion, 'one learns that the secret of life lies in feeling in the heart, not in the head.
