"I won't play 'Gerontius. It makes you think sad things, dreadful things." "No, play it again. It was on your piano that day I called in London. I shall always associate it with you." The dress rustled. She was getting up. Isaacson hesitated no longer. He went instantly up the bank. When he had reached the top he stood still for a moment. His breath came quickly.

In English literature we have some great tellings "under the similitude of a dream." We have the nineteenth-century "Dream of Gerontius," our great Cardinal's drama of the soul in its parting and after.
It is called The Dream of S. Gerontius. Gordon had marked many passages in it. Here are some: "Pray for me, O my friends." "Now that the hour is come, my fear is fled . . ." "Into thy hands O Lord, into Thy hands . . ." So it seemed that even then Gordon knew that Death was drawing near him, and was greeting with a fearless face the martyrdom that he was soon to endure.
