Sneak Peek
"Night after night, I passed beside the cradle of this sleeping child; and as I returned, I paused to look upon her face, and listen to her gentle breathing. How beautiful she was! More beautiful than ever!...
One night, I had been thinking of this, and while I was thinking, the thought seemed to grind my heart almost to bursting.
It seemed to me that there was no middle path; that she must either remain such as she was, or become one like myself. If she remained such as she was, and I could ever be again united to her, it was...then...time that our hands should be clasped, our eyes met, and that there should be a transport of affection inexpressible."
