"You do not understand," she repeated. "I understand too well," I replied. "Am I greater than the gods that I may thwart the will of the gods?
I saw it all: the valley clad white in snow, the house on the hill amid the bare oaks, the windows bright with potted plants, and down the path my father and mother running to meet me. I thought, with love in my heart, of that boyhood home and of my coming to it. Yet in that same heart there was a longing unfulfilled. Where was my manhood's home? Once I had had a tantalizing glimpse of it.
As to this matter, I think that your brother, Messer the Duke of Anjou, will undertake the labour of this holy enterprise, for the love of Christ. There would be reason for self-reproach did so sweet and holy a mystery remain unfulfilled through you.

R. F. must for ever remain unfulfilled. With every disposition to oblige him, he must submit to a failure.
Ransom's house?" she asked, with an emphasis on the verb that gave a distinct hint of unfulfilled expectations. Margaret assented. "Because your American houses, especially in the provincial towns, all look so remarkably alike, that I thought I might have been mistaken; and as my time is extremely limited in fact I'm sailing on Wednesday "

You may remember that you promised me that this worthy woman should be employed forthwith. I learn to-day that that promise, like many others you have made me, is still unfulfilled.
The unfulfilled desire to enter into this larger life was the fundamental motive throughout. "I will arrange and publish these poems for you," said Ashu, and accordingly that task was entrusted to him.
