For, all that sleepless, cruel, and soul-killing pain, and all that shameful and humbling corruption, all that means, all that is, so much holiness, so much heaven, working itself out in the soul. All that is so much immortal life, spotless beauty, and incorruptible joy already begun in the soul. Every such pang in a holy heart is a death-pang of another sin and a birth-pang of another grace.

But his thoughts were not upon his destroyer, nor upon the wrongs he had committed, nor upon any solitary being in the linked society which he had injured. "Order of Jesus," he muttered, "had I but lived three months longer, I " So died Julian Montreuil.
How miraculously beautiful must be that system which makes wine out of the scorching tears of guilt; and from the suffocating suspense, the agonized fear, the compelled and self-mocking bravery, the awful sentence, the despairing death-pang of one man, furnishes the smirking expectation of fees, the jovial meeting, and the mercenary holiday to another!
Even in the dim light I could see the broad, bright eye glazing: the death-pang came very soon; he was too weak to struggle; but a quick, convulsive shiver ran through all the lower limbs, and, with a sickening hoarse gurgle in the throat, the last breath was drawn. My good, stout, patient horse!

"He has his death-pang on him," cried Old Knowles. "He'll be ours before long; but, ah! one of them has caught it!" One of the boats had indeed caught it.
She had come to him with no definite purpose; the mere longing to see him had directed her; but the secret hope she had carried with her suddenly revealed itself in its death-pang. "I must go," she repeated, making a motion to rise from her chair.
And in this so venerable place, where dilapidation and the usury of centuries are revealed on every side even on the marble columns worn by the constant friction of hands this voice of gold that rises alone seems as if it were intoning the last lament over the death-pang of Old Islam and the end of time, the elegy, as it were, of the universal death of faith in the heart of man.
I have been alone all night, and every breath has been a death-pang. How can His eternal purpose need my bitter suffering? Oh, that God would pity me! His will be done! My love, it is nearly over. I have seen Vala! At last it is peace peace! His will be done! Mercy mercy mercy These pitiful despairs and farewells were written in a large, childish hand, and on a poor sheet of paper.
