But this stranger wore on his brow the aureola of the dreamed-of ideal, his musical voice had the imperative accent of a master, and from the first moment he looked at me, there existed between us that mysterious affinity of fraternal instincts, that spontaneous alliance of two hearts suddenly mated, unfailing gratitude, irresistible sympathy, mutual echo, reciprocal exchange, quick appreciation, ardent and sublime harmony, that creates in one moment the poets are right that creates in one moment eternal love!
"Who chooseth me doth gain that which he much desires." The second was of silver, richly chased. On its lid were many words and letters of foreign languages, encircling this inscription "Who chooseth me doth find more than he hopes."

Its miscarriage in Greece. Its timid reappearance in modern times. Distinction between science and myth. Platonic status of hypothesis. Meaning of verification. Possible validity of myths. Any dreamed-of thing might be experienced. But science follows the movement of its subject-matter. Moral value of science. Its continuity with common knowledge. Its intellectual essence.

She would die without being held to keep that oath she had made not to survive her dreamed-of happiness, the union she had desired and accepted. Yes, it was sweet and welcome, this death, which taking her from Andras's love, washed away all stain. She whispered in his ear the oft-repeated avowal: "I love you! I love you! I love you!
