And thinking that perhaps my Diana looked upon her even now, a Diana not at all placid and serene but with sweet, grey eyes a-brim with tears and heart full of yearning tenderness even as mine, I fell upon my knees and stretching out my arms, whispered words of love with passionate prayers: "O Diana, beloved ... O God of Heaven God of Mercy, bring her back to me at last with heart as sweet and pure teach me to be worthy, fit me for such happiness.... O loved Diana of the Silent Places, my love goes with you always, and for ever, strong, sweet goddess of my life.
Conceiving the block as a well a-brim with blackness and clamorous with violent sound, studded on high with inaccessible, yellow-bright loopholes wherefrom hostile eyes spied upon his every secret movement, and haunted below by vicious perils both animate and still: he found himself possessed of an overpowering desire to go away from there quickly.

For a moment I had the foolish thought that these men were weary and slept, until, coming near, I saw that these had died by the same shell-burst.
And he thought that her scarlet lips were sweet with promise and her glance a-brim with such a light as he had never dreamed to know. And now that he knew it and desired it, it was too late; an hour gone he might, by a nod of his head, have cast his fortunes with hers for weal or woe. But now ... Alas and alackaday, that Romance was no more!
