Had the ghost of Duncan suddenly gleamed out of the viewless air I could not have been more startled awed! "She is dead! poisoned!" he shrieked with maniacal fury; "killed! murdered! and by her!" I gasped for breath, and could hardly articulate "What! whom?" "My mother!" he shouted with the same furious vehemence "Killed! by her!
The story of the Thracian lyre soothing the horrors of the underworld, and melting to relentment its gloomy king the story of the shepherd-minstrel's harp chasing the shapeless penumbra of looming insanity from the first Hebrew brow crowned in Jehovah's despite the story of the mighty prophet Elisha, fettered to earth by wrath and scorn till, at his own command, the music swelled, and his enfranchised spirit rose on its viewless wings to behold the veiled Future already woven from the tangled skein of the troubled Present the thousand-fold story of music's magic and mystery, stretches back into the forgotten Past, and onward into the imagined Future.
The encircling lamps glowed in serried lines of various light; the fantastic incense-flame rustled softly on the altar. The four figures seemed a group of phantoms, a momentary rich illusion of the eye. And save for their viewless souls, what were they more? Earth is a phantom; but what we cannot grasp is real and remains!
We know nothing can happen again which will release us from it. And yet how much has been written of it? That is the measure of its vastness and its mystery it possesses the minds of many men, but they are silent on what they know. They rarely speak of it, except to one of the fraternity.

There were suggestive vistas of light and shadow that were full of mystery, making it easy to believe that on a night like this the mountain was haunted by creatures as strange as the fancy could shape. The girl at his side was a mystery. Viewless walls incased her spirit. What were her hidden and innermost thoughts? The supreme gift of a boundless love overflowed his heart to his very lips.
But ever the same horror of it filled me, though I believed it not, knowing full well there were no witches, sorcerers, or warlocks in the world; yet, in my soul disturbed concerning what might pass deep in the shadows of that viewless Empire. "Mayaro," I said seriously, "do you go instantly to the fort and view those scalps." "Were the braids fastened at the roots with tree-cat claws?" "Aye!"
He acknowledges his little poem to be the tribute of one who had been a stranger to her whom it was written to commemorate: "And yet methinks we are not strange: so many claims there be Which seem to weave a viewless band between my soul and thee. Sweet sister of my early friend, the kind, the singlehearted, Than whose remembrance none more bright still gilds the days departed!
It was a seat, it went somewhere, and it was a hiding place. Seated amongst these people he felt intuitively that a viewless barrier lay between him and his pursuers, that it was the very last place a man in search of a runaway would glance at. He was right.
Fairfax, and spend the long winter evening with her, and her only, was to quell wholly the faint excitement wakened by my walk, to slip again over my faculties the viewless fetters of an uniform and too still existence; of an existence whose very privileges of security and ease I was becoming incapable of appreciating.
There was something inexpressibly fearful in his viewless vicinity, during the next moment of darkness, to this silent, mysterious form, so imperfectly shown by the lightning that quivered over its half-revealed proportions. Every pulse in the body of the Goth seemed to pause as he stood, with ready weapon, looking into the gloomy darkness, and wafting for the next flash.
