One excellent clergyman told us that the "eye of a needle" meant a low, Oriental postern through which camels could not pass till they were unloaded which is very likely just; and then went on, bravely confounding the "kingdom of God" with heaven, the future paradise, to show that of course no rich person could expect to carry his riches beyond the grave which, of course, he could not and never did.
Now, will ye promise to free my father? 'That will I, my poor damsel, said Lancelot, 'and I will, God aiding me, slay this Sir Turquine as I slew Sir Caradoc his brother. So at the dead of night the damsel opened his door, and with the keys that she had stolen, she opened twelve other locks that stood between them and the postern door.
"Mademoiselle Louise," whispered he, "I shall be with Monsieur de Louvois in ten minutes; for I have the key of the postern, and can slip out and back again without anybody being the wiser for my little excursion." "So much the better. Away with you, and the sooner the better!"
The last poem in Moments of Vision blesses rather than curses life. When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay And the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings, Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the people say "He was a man who used to notice such things"?
The coast that environs the harbour abounds in natural beauties, but of all the wooded creeks fair stretches of undulating downs or stately curves of winding river, none surpasses the little bay formed by the turn of Benita, the northern postern of the Golden Gates. Here is the little township of Sancilito, with its pretty white houses nestling among the dark green of the deeply wooded slopes.
The one we attended was in a large upper room in a house not far from the Mere, where Master Overton ministered. Two flights of stairs led up to the storey on which the room was situated, besides which there was a narrow winding stair inside the wall, with a concealed door on the top, which led down to a small postern gate.
It was not till he had knocked again and again that the porter had opened the little postern in the great wooden gate, and seeing who was there had hastily explained that Stradella was in prison for having struck Don Alberto on the nose, at the foot of the grand staircase, and that, after this, he, Gaetano the porter, had not the courage to admit any one belonging to the musician's household.
Again he paused near the sisters' house, and again he entered by the postern. 'But not again did his ear encounter the sound of laughter, or his eyes rest upon the beautiful figures of the five sisters. All was silent and deserted. The boughs of the trees were bent and broken, and the grass had grown long and rank. No light feet had pressed it for many, many a day.
I would ask the young lord Josceline, but, merry as he is, he turneth haughty if one ask what he termeth a meddling question. He would say, 'What hast thou to do with the whereabouts of the postern key? And then he would away to his mother with a tale of me, and the key would be more securely hidden than before." "And Lord De Aldithely still further endangered if he came riding and pursued?"
This eunuch, then, as I was going to say, has agreed to introduce me into the garden to-night, in about an hour's time through a small postern in the wall of which he has the key. He is going to conduct me to the summer-house where Marian is.
