For every root-fibre that felt its way into the soil, there fell to the ground one of the tender leaves, and two strong ones pushed forth.

There was a lull in the storm, so that the root-fibre was not torn instantly away from the hand; but in the hermit's prayers there was no pause: "May the Lord come soon to destroy this world of corruption, so that man may not have time to heap more sin upon himself! May he save the unborn from life!
