"One that thou knewest once," answered Isabel's quivering voice. "From Heaven?" cried Joan almost wildly. "Can the dead come back again?" And she stretched forth her hands in the direction from which the sound of her sister's voice had come. "No, but the living may," said Isabel, kneeling down by her, and clasping her arms around her.

Didst thou know what thou wert to me, Louisa? Impossible! No! thou knewest not that thou wert my all all! 'Tis a poor insignificant word! but eternity itself can scarcely circumscribe it. Within it systems of worlds can roll their mighty orbs. All! and to sport with it so wickedly. Oh, 'tis horrible. LOUISA. Baron von Walter, you have heard my confession! I have pronounced my own condemnation!
So come, shave me at once and give me no more talk.

'By Allah, said I, 'I never saw a barber skilled in astrology except thee: but I think and know that thou art prodigal of idle talk.
What mischief thou hast wrought? By Allah! I will flog thy skin from thy flesh and cut thy flesh from thy bones!"

"Thou hast a silvery and persuasive tongue!" he said gently "And thou speakest of God as if thou knewest one akin to Him. Would I could believe all thou sayest! ... but alas! I cannot.
Not to have the joy to carry to hell the memory of that never-to-be-forgotten hour, and to cry to God, 'Burn my flesh, dry up all the blood in my veins, break all my bones, thou canst not take from me the remembrance which sweetens and refreshes me for ever and ever! . . . Thais is dying! Preposterous God, if thou knewest how I laugh at Thy hell!
If thou knewest the gift of God! to have had one's opportunity in one's hands and to have let it slip; to have had the Messiah sitting by you and not to have recognized Him; to have thought it just a commonplace day when the most sacred revelations of God were occurring, that is about the saddest confession that any one can make. And yet, that is what might happen to any one any day.
