"Quemadmodum cervus," began Mistress Margaret; "as the hart brayeth after the waterbrooks," and she took the embroidery and began to go on with it. "It is the soul, you see, desiring and fleeing to God, while the things of the world hold her back.
He had inherited the passionate longing of the Jewish race for fellowship with God the longing expressed a hundred times in the poetry of his fathers in words like these: "As the hart panteth after the waterbrooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God"; "My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?"
Gifford, the editor of the 'Quarterly, who knew the drudgery of writing for a living, once observed that "a single hour of composition, won from the business of the day, is worth more than the whole day's toil of him who works at the trade of literature: in the one case, the spirit comes joyfully to refresh itself, like a hart to the waterbrooks; in the other, it pursues its miserable way, panting and jaded, with the dogs and hunger of necessity behind."
