I learnt them by heart, and in that gloriously blue receptacle, by and by, where many pleasant youthful dreams are stowed, I put the hope that one day I would clasp hands with them, and feel and know the unspeakable comfort and heart-rest of congenial companionship. Everard Grey
And it had been real heart-rest always, even though sometimes the meetings themselves had been wofully prosy. There had always been the pleasant little chat and the warm hand-shake afterwards, and then the going home again beneath the stars with a bit of the last hymn in one's soul to sing one to sleep with, "Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee; E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me;"
She felt the narrowness of her life the inability of those beyond her own household to match her thoughts and emotions. Love came that way a short heart-rest, a being understood, were hers. The gates of Paradise swung ajar and she caught a glimpse of the glories within, and sighed and clasped her hands and bowed her head in a prayer of thankfulness.
If it meant to fly away to heaven ? Surely she did not wish that! The world and "the things that are in the world" were very attractive to the young soprano. She had no wish for heaven save as an alternative from hell. What did it mean? Was it a heart-rest that David longed for? But she had been conscious of no unrest until just now. Honestly, the truth was that she had not meant anything!
They met, looked into each other's eyes, and each there read his fate: no coyness, no affectation, no fencing they loved. Each at once felt a heart-rest in the other. Each had at last found the other self. And now it seems to me that somewhere in these pages I said that friendship was essentially hygienic. I wish to make that remark again, and to put it in italics.
