If the man before him, worn with years, and actually laboring for the breath of life, could be so moved by contempt for the enemy, what of his co-partisans? Age is ordinarily a tamer of the passions. Here was an instance in which much contention long continued had counteracted the benign effect. As a teacher and example, how unlike this Hegumen was to Hilarion.
The youth had intellect, impressiveness, aptitude in words, and a sublime idea. But what of his spirit his courage his endurance in the Faith? "How came this doctrine to thee?" The Prince spoke deferentially. "From the good father Hilarion." "Who is he?" "The Archimandrite of Bielo-Osero." "A monastery?" "Yes." "How did he receive it?"
Then the wretched Hadrian, wishing to go back to Palestine and get himself glory under his master's name, packed up all that the brethren had sent by him to his master, and went secretly away. But as a terror to those who despise their masters he shortly after died of jaundice. Then, with Zananas alone, Hilarion went on board ship to sail for Sicily.
With the Sultana Irene and Father Hilarion, he preferred the enjoyment and practice of the simple creed preached by him in Sancta Sophia, though as between the Latins and the orthodox Greeks he leaned to the former. The active agent dispensing the charities of his imperial benefactress, he endeared himself to the people of both religions.
"His life on earth is assured for many years yet, inasmuch as his penance is not finished, his recompense not won. Thus far my knowledge of his fate is certain." "Then you will bring him back to-day?" pursued Hilarion. "Bring him back? I? I cannot!" said Heliobas, with a touch of sad humility in his tone.
The impulse which, given by Antony, had been propagated in Asia by his great pupil, Hilarion, spread rapidly far and wide. Hermits took possession of the highest peaks of Sinai; and driven from thence, so tradition tells, by fear of those mysterious noises which still haunt its cliffs, settled at that sheltered spot where now stands the convent of St. Catharine.
Selene and Helios were baptized, and two days after dame Hannah with her adopted children and Mary, escorted by the presbyter Hilarion and a deacon, embarked in the harbor of Mareotis on board a Nile-boat which was to convey them to their new home, the town of Besa in Upper Egypt. The deformed girl had hesitated as to her answer to the widow's question whether she would accompany her.
Hilarion, once occupied by Richard the First. Through the traceries of its windows and from its towers I looked at the snowy summits of Cilicia across sixty miles of sea. I explored its stables, hewn out of the solid rock stables not for horses, but camels. I examined its cisterns, hanging on the brinks of precipices.
It was he, he who DREW my force out of me as one would draw a sword out of its scabbard the sword may be ever so stiffly fixed in its sheath, but the strong hand will wrench it forth somehow, and use it for battle when needed." "Then," said Hilarion wonderingly, "you admit this man possesses a power greater than your own?" "Aye, if he knew it!" returned Heliobas, quietly. "But he does not know.
Macarius became angry because an insect bit him and in penitence flung himself into a marsh where he lived for weeks. He was so badly stung by gnats and flies that his friends hardly knew him. Hilarion, at twenty years of age, was more like a spectre than a living man. His cell was only five feet high, a little lower than his stature.
