It is true that had his gifts, such as they were, been acknowledged in his lifetime, he would never have made the bargain I saw him make that strange bargain whose results have kept him always in the foreground of my memory. But it is from those very results that the full piteousness of him glares out. Not my compassion, however, impels me to write of him.
Roden could only embrace her, sobbing, wiping her eyes with piteousness. "But I will not begrudge aught of the sacrifice," she continued. "There is nothing, I think, sweeter than to deny oneself all things for love. What are our lessons for but to teach us that? Shall I not do unto him as it would be well for me that some such girl should do for my sake if I were such as he?"
Knowing these things, she could not beg him over-much to come to her, but that left dreadfully little to say in the hours they had to spend together on these occasions. There fell increasingly moments of silence when, unreminded by his piteousness and her obligations by the good little pipe of her voice, she was aware of nothing but his unpleasantness.
I would dare everything, learn everything, live everything take it all into myself. And every day I was stronger, every day I was more! And now see me! You have penned me here, you have starved me, stunted me, crushed me I sit shivering and staring at my own piteousness! Why, I can not even be angry any more I am too shrunken, too impotent for that! And was it my fault?
She put her hand across his lips. 'I have seen things as they are, Robert, she said very simply; 'while I have been sitting here, and downstairs, after Mr. Flaxman left me. You were right I would not understand. And, in a sense, I shall never understand. I cannot change, and her voice broke into piteousness. 'My Lord is my Lord always , but He is yours too. Oh, I know it, say what you will!
"Oh, Bertie, Bertie, forgive me!" she said, laying her hand on his arm. "Forgive me; I don't know what I am saying." There was some piteousness in her voice and eyes. She was appealing to him for pity, but he did not know it. Every man thinks that the world was made for himself alone, and he goes tramping about it, quite careless as to where he plants his heavy feet.
God will hear you God must hear His own! Don't cry, dear! Kiss me!" She kissed him, clasping his poor frail form to her heart as though he were a child, and tenderly smoothing back his venerable snow-white hair. A slumbrous look of perfect peace softened the piteousness of his dying eyes. "The only treasure!" he murmured, faintly. "The treasure of Heaven Love!
Stilled by Rudolf's gentle rebuke, she had urged him no more in words, but there was an entreaty in her eyes stronger than any spoken prayer, and a piteousness in the lingering of her hand in his harder to resist than ten thousand sad petitions. At last he had led her from the room and commended her to Helga's care. Then, returning to us, he stood silent a little while.
But the man who helped him to create this confidence, who co-operated with him, who brought home that false report and deluded you, he it is who now bewails the sufferings of the Thebans and enlarges upon their piteousness he, who is himself the cause both of these and of the misery in Phocis, and of all the other evils which the Hellenes have endured.
