Up he shot again with terror in his heart, and all trembling with the thunder of the great star-voices above. He felt like a leaf in a hurricane, "lost, dizzy, shelterless." Voices, too, now began to be heard more frequently.

Homeless, His mother, save for the stable of the public inn and words can hardly describe any place more unsuited was shelterless, unprotected, in that hour of travail pain. I love to let my imagination dwell upon that scene.
