As seeds in the womb of earth break from the brooding darkness, Or as the soul soars free, heaven-seeking from the grave, So the hopeless soil of a dungeon blossoms to rapture, Blooms with roses of Love, more sweet than the wildling rose! And when had Paula ever felt happier than at the moment when this offering from her lover, this humble prison-flower, first reached her.

I ask if in the calm of their measured reveries, if in the deep meditations which fill their hours, they feel the extasy of a youthful tyro in the school of pleasure? Can the calm beams of their heaven-seeking eyes equal the flashes of mingling passion which blind his, or does the influence of cold philosophy steep their soul in a joy equal to his, engaged In this dear work of youthful revelry.
I acknowledge, too, that I have been something of a dreamer, and have sacrificed, perchance, too assiduously on that altar to the 'unknown God, which the Divinity has builded not with hands in the bosom of every decent man, sometimes blazing out clear with flame, like Abel's sacrifice, heaven-seeking; sometimes smothered with greenwood and earthward, like that of Cain. Lazy quota!

She has invested his form, is incarnate in his flesh, has entwined herself with his being, and blinds his heaven-seeking eyes.

"You never knew Doctor Schermerhorn, did you, Helen?" he asked. "The funny little old German? Indeed, I did! He was a dear!" "He was one of the greatest scientists living and he was a dear! That goes far to explain him a gentle, wise, child-like, old man with imagination and a Heaven-seeking soul. He picked me up as a boy, and was a father to me.
