But one day Christine detected her father watching her movements with the keenest scrutiny, and after that she came more and more rarely. The hope that for a moment had tinged the darkness surrounding Dennis died away like the meteor's transient light. He went into society very little after his illness, and shunned large companies. He preferred to spend his evenings with his mother and in study.
I won't say that he was a confirmed believer, but he was interested. "I never thought much about these reports before," he said, "but I know this guy well. He's not nuts. What do you think he saw?" I don't know what he saw. Maybe he didn't travel as far as he thought he did. If he didn't, then I'd guess that he saw a meteor's smoke trail.
And as the meteor's midnight flame Startles the dreamer, sun-like truth Flashed on his visionary youth, And filled him, not with love, but faith.
Hark! what strange sounds arise 'Tis not stern Nature's voice In mingled chorus to the skies! The waters in their depths rejoice. Hark! on the midnight air A frantic cry uprose; The yell of fierce despair, The shout of mortal foes; And mark yon sudden glare, Whose red, portentous gleam Flashes on rock and stream With strange, unearthly light; What passing meteor's beam Lays bare the brow of night?
If Lewis Rand had not Jefferson's equanimity, his sane and wise belief in the satisfying power of common daylight, common pleasures, all the common relations of daily life; if some strangeness in his nature thrilled to the meteor's flight, craved the exotic, responded to clashing and barbaric music, yet the two preached the same doctrine.
"To us this star or that seems bright, And oft some headlong meteor's flight Holds for awhile our raptured sight. "But he discerns each noble star; The least is only the most far, Whose worlds, may be, the mightiest are."
The Dustman gave it to you when you were not looking, gathered from the entire Zodiac... and from the careless meteor's track.... The words died off into the forest. The words came floating behind her. She felt herself brimful charged with loving sympathy of the sweetest and most understanding quality. She looked down a moment upon her mother's roof. Then she descended.
