And so, with his court, he returned to his brand-new Tiberias, where the air was serener, and nature laughed. And yet in the gardens that leaned to the lake the tranquillity he had anticipated eluded and declined to be detained. Rumors that Herodias collected came to him with the stamp of Rome. One of his brothers was plotting against him; another, though in exile, was plotting too.
They served to remind me that the fears, the spiritual conflicts, the darkness that seems eternal, are mere incidents of a summer noon and leave behind them a purer and serener day. Through all this close intercourse with nature my mind was being prepared for a healthier relation to my fellow-man, and my heart saved from the petrification of melancholy self-regard.

"You couldn't trespass here," replied Jolyon; "history makes that impossible. I was just thinking of you." Irene smiled. And it was as if something shone through; not mere spirituality serener, completer, more alluring.
"'There is a land of every land the pride, Beloved of Heaven, o'er all the world beside, where brighter suns dispense serener light, And milder moons imparadise the night. Oh, thou shalt find howe'er thy footsteps roam, That land thy country and that spot thy home." At the conclusion of Commissioner Callanan's remarks the assemblage dispersed.
