"He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And by his pow'r my foes controll'd; He found me wand'ring far from God, And brought me to his chosen fold." "Fold?" said Ellen, opening her eyes; "what is that?" "It's where sheep are penned, ain't it?" said Mr. Van Brunt, after a pause.
O day and night! a fisher maiden Is wand'ring up the path to where unseen I lie; She comes with some light spoil from off the shore beladen. And softly singing of the sea goes slowly by. And slowly rise great sun-tipped white cloud masses, Sublimely still their shadows flit and flee: How silently the work of nature passes The roll of worlds, the growth of flower and tree!
If wand'ring in the maze of life I run, And backward tread the steps I sought to shun, Impute my error to your own decree: My FEET are guilty: but my HEART is free. Lovelace, on observing her uneasiness, had introduced to her Mr. Mennell, Mrs. Fretchville's kinsman, who managed all her affairs.
So early at the gate of life, With smiles of heav'n on thy brow, Thou hast the best of treasures lost, Poor wand'ring child, nor know'st it now. A noble duke comes riding by, And near thee checks his courser's speed, And full of ardent chivalry He bears thee home upon his steed. Much, endless much, has been thy gain! Thou bloom'st the fairest in the land!
And you will understand how the water wells up in our eyes and makes all things dim, and our voices break and we cannot sing the last lines: "And when, in Exile wand'ring, we Shall fainting yearn for glimpse of thee, Oh, rise upon our sight!" And you will remember that Joan of Arc sang this song with us around the Tree when she was a little child, and always loved it.
We rise; one wand'ring thought pollutes the day. We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep, Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away; It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free. Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but mutability! It was nearly noon when I arrived at the top of the ascent.
So have I seen some youth set out, Half Protestant, half Papist; And wand'ring long the world about, Some new religion to find out, Turn Infidel or Atheist.
Thus walked I in an ecstasy, scanning with eager eyes the novel beauties around me, my mind full of the poetic imaginations conjured up by the magic of this midsummer night, so that I yearned to paint it, or set it to music, or write it into adequate words; and knowing this beyond me, I fell to repeating Milton's noble verses the while: "I walk unseen On the dry smooth-shaven green, To behold the wand'ring moon Riding near her highest noon, Like one that had been led astray Through the heaven's wide pathless way."
So that, upon the whole, we must register as needed, an astrology written in conformity with these principles, under the name of Astrologia Sana. Their wand'ring course, now high, now low, then hid, Progressive, retrograde, or standing still; Of such observations let a just astrology be formed; and according to these alone should schemes of the heavens be made and interpreted.
