And at the same moment a passionate rebellion against weakness and disablement arose in him. He sat up dizzily, his head in his hands.
In the rear, candles were moving in front of spectre-like priests, under the last reverberations of the organs. She trembled in the silence, and said: "The sadness of churches at night moves me; I feel in them the grandeur of nothingness." He replied: "We must believe in something. If there were no God, if our souls were not immortal, it would be too sad."
She had no consciousness of having been removed to the bark of the Canadian, nor did she even remember having risen and gazed through the foliage on the vessel at her side; but she presumed, the chill air of morning having partially restored pulsation, she had moved instinctively from her recumbent position to the spot in which her spectre-like countenance had been perceived by Fuller.
