And why is the church of the Holy Sepulcher a beacon-light? Why, when it is already past the noon of darkness, when every soul slumbers in Jerusalem, and not a sound disturbs the deep repose except the howl of the wild dog crying to the wilder wind why is the cupola of the sanctuary illumined, tho the hour has long since been numbered, when pilgrims there kneel and monks pray?

It was possible that the brace in question might have belonged to some of the wilder flocks inhabiting the swamps of the Sunderbunds and therefore less accustomed to human society.
