'No, not allus, she cried, starting up, while there came over her face that expression which had so amazed me at Beddgelert. When at last breath came to her she was looking towards y Wyddfa through the kindling haze. 'There you're right, Hal Aylwin. It ain't every dukkeripen as comes true.
And I knew that this would be your case. Yes, my dear Aylwin, I knew that when the issues of Life are greatly beyond the common, and when our hearts are torn as yours has been torn, and when our souls are on fire with a flame such as that which I saw was consuming you, the awful possibilities of this universe of which we, civilised men or savage, know nothing will come before us, and tease our hearts with strange wild hopes, 'though all the "proofs" of all the logicians should hold them up to scorn.
He is my only fear in connection with the jewels. Her dislike of Wynne had made her forget for the moment the effect her words must have upon me. 'Mother, I said, 'your persistent prejudice and injustice towards this man astonish me. Wynne, though poor and degraded now, is a gentleman born, and is no more likely to violate a tomb than the best Aylwin that ever lived.
This is how I came to know it. My attention had been arrested by a book lying on my father's writing-table a large book called 'The Veiled Queen, by Philip Aylwin' and I began to read it. The statements therein were of an astounding kind, and the idea of a beautiful woman behind a veil completely fascinated my childish mind.
Over her head, on the portico, are written the words: "I am all that hath been, is, and shall be, and no mortal hath uncovered my veil." The tinted lights falling on the group are shed, you see, from the rainbow-coloured lamps of Sais, which are countless. But in spite of all these lamps, Mr. Aylwin, no mortal can see the face behind that veil. And why?
Over and above the touching testimony of Swinburne, no one will deny that if ever one man knew another too well to be his biographer, as Mr. Benson says, the author of Aylwin was that man with regard to Rossetti.
'Stay, King Bamfylde, stay, said he; 'shall the beds of the mere ungenteel Aylwins, "the outside Aylwins," be made by the high Gypsy-gentility of Raxton? A light began to break in upon me. 'Surely, I said, 'surely you are not Cyril Aylwin, the ? 'Pray finish your sentence, sir, and say the low bohemian painter, the representative of the great ungenteel the successor to the Aylwin peerage.
And then my soul would cry out in its agony, 'Most true, Fenella Stanley most true, Philip Aylwin; but before I will succumb to such a theory of the universe as yours, a theory which reason laughs at and which laughs at reason, I will die die by this hand of mine: this flesh that imprisons me in a world of mocking delusion shall be destroyed, but first the symbol itself of your wicked, cruel old folly shall go.
The son of Philip Aylwin has assuredly a right to be critical in regard to all other fathers than his own. I looked in his face; the expression of solemn earnestness was quite unmistakable. 'It is not you, I said, 'it is Heaven, or else it is the blind jester Circumstance, that is playing this joke upon me!
The anecdote-monger began talking at once about Sinfi, Wilderspin, and Cyril Aylwin, speaking of them in the most genial and affectionate terms. In a few minutes, without withdrawing a word he had said about either of them, he had entirely changed the spirit of every word. At first I tried to resist his sophistry, but it was not to be resisted.
