But amid it all I see her little face, that with its great mysterious grey eyes still shines in undimmed beauty from the past, and to which these verses are dedicate. It was once, and it shall be again; the tide will return and the wind will fall away. I have not always known, but yesterday I climbed the Hills of the Mist, and shook the unyielding bars of the gates of Death; and then I knew - What is one life in immortality? "
