 DEDICATION. 
 
 Even to thee, who, not in faith less strong 
 
 Than Jier whose suffering endeth with my tale. 
 Hast not been tempted to forego the veil 
 
 Which is our pure love's sanction to the throng, — 
 
 Even to thee, with whom this isle of song, — 
 This isle of rest from many a former gale. 
 Of rest ere once more westiuard strives our sail,— 
 
 Hath been the shore of which I dreamed so long ; — 
 
 unto thee, thou pearl of price unknown 
 By all save Him whose is the infinite sea 
 
 In depths of which thy perfectncss hath grown. 
 This sonnet comes ambassador from me; 
 
 And asks thy grace to call that work thine own 
 Whose everv virtue lives enlarged in thee.
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 Representations have been made to the author 
 that his present Poem is open to grave miscon- 
 structions, which nothing but an explanatory pre- 
 face can guard against. Much against his inclina- 
 tion, therefore, (having in view the impropriety 
 ot seeming to criticise his own work,) he inserts 
 these few lines to say that, whatever object he may 
 have had in view, he certainly did not \\Tite this 
 Poem with the idea of advocating indiscriminate 
 abolition of all forms of marriage. He hopes, 
 moreover, that as the Poem is entirely dramat--^ 
 its catastrophe will be accepted as sufficient evi- 
 dence of his freedom from such an intention.

 LEOXARD TO STEPHEN. 
 
 From a country town : Oct. 24. 18-1. 
 
 ' Two Neapolitans 'scaped ' — to wit, myself 
 And Johnnie Hirst j — maybe you ask from what? 
 O Stephano ! from that most drear}' scene, 
 Whether most drear in being countified 
 Or countrified, I cannot clearly say; 
 Each word involves a horror — countified, 
 The synonym for stupid; countrified, 
 For some unwritten adjective that tells 
 Of dancing fit to make Terpsichore 
 Tie up her feet for ever, in disgust, 
 In cocoa-matting; — this have we escaped, — 
 The noun that lends to these twain adjectives 
 The utmost gloom of darkness, — ev'n a ball. 
 li 2
 
 4 EtLcharis. 
 
 For to be countified — (I coin a verb 
 
 To match my adjective) — is not at times 
 
 The worst of evils ; there are hounds or guns 
 
 For those who hke them ; likewise dinners, wines, 
 
 That shine, for those whose souls mahoganise 
 
 Their theologic system, with a light 
 
 Of other years, with promise of content, 
 
 And carelessness of walks at minor hours. 
 
 Nor to be countrified, in spite of that 
 
 Which Touchstone taught, in summer time at least, 
 
 Is equal to damnation ; I recall 
 
 Visions of groves and meadows, close-cut lawns 
 
 Bruised with the treadings of small-booted feet, 
 
 Where laughter mingles with the ceaseless click 
 
 Of balls and mallets, where the ruling voice 
 
 Of village parson oftentimes is heard 
 
 Repressing vice with thrice the promptitude 
 
 Of Sabbatarian usage; — these are things 
 
 That make the states expressed by either verl) 
 
 At times endurable, or even more.
 
 Leonaj'd to Stephen. 5 
 
 But join the two in adjectival form, 
 
 And wreathe them, on a wet October night, 
 
 Around the noun I will not A\Tite again, 
 
 And horror stands completed ! We have 'scaped, 
 
 'Scaped or survived, and hope are duly thankful 
 
 For this the least of mercies. Know you not 
 
 How, when some casual hospitable friend 
 
 Invokes you \\ith a dinner, how you sit 
 
 And watch his flasks of logwood circling round. 
 
 Content to sip, and sip, and fill again. 
 
 Saved in the hope of cofifee % Even so 
 
 Now sip I, out of very thankfulness 
 
 For good intention (scarce enough sometimes) 
 
 A scanty drop of last night's memories ; 
 
 As for the rest, I leave them unto those 
 
 By whom such things are prized and coveted. 
 
 Yet not to be ungrateful, though the thing 
 Whicli gave me pleasure was not reckoned in 
 Among the many promised, — not to be
 
 6 Eucharis. 
 
 Too cynical, I may confess to you 
 
 That there was something which (it seems so 
 
 now) 
 Was worth the reaching through the dreary pomp, 
 The dull quintessence of stupidity 
 Which has its birth, like Milton's melancholy, 
 In Stygian caves — none more forlorn than that 
 Which held us overnight. And this perhaps 
 (I say 'perhaps' in view of future chances) 
 It was that made me more susceptible 
 To any smile that seemed I'Allegro's own ; 
 For know, I make a friend. ' Oh, rare ! ' you 
 
 cry; 
 
 • What was he like ? Arabian looker-down 
 ' On women, creatures guiltless of a soul ! 
 
 • Cobbler, or Jehu of a country fly, 
 
 ' Whose faith in coming Demos raises him 
 ' Above the awls or riblions of his craft ? ' 
 No, I confess, a woman ; one, besides, 
 Not old, nor blue, nor differing from myself
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 
 
 In social rank (whatever that ma}- be); 
 
 And one, moreover, not devoid of that 
 
 Which is with most their only claim for worship ; 
 
 For though no feature of her face would reach 
 
 Your standard of perfection, yet I thought 
 
 Her head and shape were perfect — statuesque. 
 
 No full-blown beauty of your Titian school, — 
 
 Titian, the master of the long smooth curve, 
 
 The fully veined, but nerveless, skin that speaks 
 
 A meagre share of soul, and oftentimes 
 
 A share by no means meagre of those passions 
 
 Which may sleep harmlessly, and not break out 
 
 In such refined adulteries as made 
 
 Venetian pomp foretell Venetia's fall. 
 
 (You laugh, I know; but I must have my fling.) 
 
 But for my statue — has she got a name % 
 
 Her name is Johnstone, — Eucharis, I think, 
 
 I heard them call her ; surely you must know, 
 
 As one that moves in almost every sphere, 
 
 Wtr mother's name — the selfsame Johnstone who
 
 8 Eiicharis. 
 
 Is famed for tales of little girls and boys 
 
 Who all die out because they only feed 
 
 On weak gi'cen tea and Bible ; — she herself, 
 
 As often chances in this evil world, 
 
 Is better than her books ; serene and kind, 
 
 A fine old lady ; loving all the more 
 
 Her quiet now, in contrast with the time 
 
 When she was tortured daily, ere the scamp 
 
 Whom the world called her husband ran away. 
 
 Two children has she, daughters ; one just wed 
 
 Unto a country bank ; for even you, 
 
 With all your charity, could not describe 
 
 As man the thing that owns her, nor does she ; 
 
 Although she snubs her mother on the strength 
 
 Of her dominion o'er his bunch of keys. 
 
 So much for two ; and what about the third ? 
 
 Something about her struck me ; she appeared 
 
 To bear about her traces of an air 
 
 More cosmopolitan than that she breathed. 
 
 I claimed her early (for a waltz, I think) ;
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 9 
 
 And when we paused, and that was soon enough, 
 
 She asked me, rather bhmtly, what I thought — 
 
 Not seemed to think, but really thought, she said — 
 
 Of dancing as a midnight exercise 
 
 For creatures blessed with souls as well as brains ? 
 
 I gave a start, half-dreading, in my haste, 
 
 A Calvinistic sermon, which to me 
 
 Is certain dissolution ; this she saw, 
 
 And eagerly disclaimed a thought so rash. 
 
 I told her then my fancy, which you know. 
 
 She looked half-pleased. * And as for you ? ' I said. 
 
 ' And as for me, I hate it,' she replied. 
 
 With such a smile, and such a looking-up, 
 
 And such emphatic motion of her heel, 
 
 I could not doubt her truth. We danced no more, 
 
 Nor did she through the evening, I suspect. 
 
 Attracting thus the more than muttered wratli 
 
 Of her stem sister, now incorporate 
 
 With safes and oaken desks, and greasy slircds 
 
 Of printed rag, entitled country notes.
 
 lo Enc/iaris. 
 
 (I have one by me, meaning it to pass, 
 An heirloom, to my dim posterity.) 
 
 And so I made a friend. ' This all ? ' you ask ; 
 O man, how long shall words be spent in vain 
 To teach thee how that not alone by speech, 
 That not alone in cards and morning calls. 
 Doth live the thing called friendship 1 Impious 
 
 wretch, 
 To use that word, that sin-suggester — ' all ! ' 
 Perhaps you did not ; so my vials yet 
 Shall keep their corks in and their capsules on 
 Until I feel more certain. But withal 
 Prepare me now a lodging; which implies 
 Due warning unto her I may not name, 
 Much less address by letter, in the dread 
 Of misconstruction such as waited on 
 The notes of Mr. Pickwick, that my mind 
 Turns townward now, and that my body comes 
 On Tuesday, by the midday train from here.

 LETTER II. 
 
 GERTRUDE TO A FRIEND. 
 
 From a country town : Jan. 3, 18-2. 
 A THOU.SAND thanks, dear, for your tiny note ; 
 The number that you send, I well believe. 
 Is the true reason for its brevity. 
 I'ut do not think of that ; a word from you 
 Is always welcome, and my husband, too, 
 (I grow familiar with my dignity). 
 Was pleased for me to get it. When you feel 
 At liberty to see us (this from him). 
 Nothing will please him better than to make 
 Your family's acc^uaintance ; as for me, 
 I know that I am always dear to you. 
 And so refrain from suchlike messages. 
 Hut what ! I overlook the star and gem
 
 1 2 E2Lcha7'is. 
 
 Of your epistle ! Really is it true 
 
 That Julia is immutably engaged, 
 
 And to a coronet ? at least to what 
 
 May some day be one ? Quite I understand 
 
 Your father's feeling ; after such a life 
 
 Of tearing up and down, of casting off 
 
 And putting on, I think if she should now 
 
 Do aught again to mar her prospects, he 
 
 Might well be vexed. But then I know she won't, 
 
 And therefore think your father might have spared 
 
 His somewhat coarse expression. Give her, dear, 
 
 My very kindest love ; you know at school 
 
 We always called her countess. 
 
 As for me — 
 (That phrase is quite an heirloom in our house ; 
 Mamma is always using it) — for me,— 
 Why, yes, I flourish. Yesterday we had 
 What we called quite a gathering, what you 
 Would sneer at as an unsuccessful squeeze. 
 But, seriously, we did most passably ;
 
 Gertrude to a Friend. : 
 
 Our rooms are large — indeed, our house is one 
 
 Built by the present Member to contain 
 
 AVliole shoals of hungry voters; but the town 
 
 Grows Liberal ; at last election-time 
 
 His head was nearly broken; so he deems 
 
 His pearls too precious to be spent on swine, 
 
 And lets his house, and lives ten miles away. 
 
 Well, as I said, we did most passably; 
 
 I think 'twas sixty-three or sixty-four 
 
 We numbered ; all went smoothly, save for one 
 
 Unfortunate annoyance which I had 
 
 To bear with from my sister Eucharis. 
 
 To make you understand it, you must know 
 That long before I married she had grown 
 From oddness to a singularity 
 Which, looking at its present consequence, 
 I cannot think, poor child, bespeaks in her 
 A mind at all times sound. Three years ago, 
 You know she had (or, if )'ou do not know,
 
 14 Eiicharis. 
 
 I tell you now) a disappointment, which, 
 Though all of us, and she herself, indeed, 
 Regarded as most fortunate, may yet 
 Have caused her more excitement than she thinks ; 
 She always was excitable. Well, now. 
 Since last November, she has been engaged — 
 (O heavens ! what a word ! I grow quite faint 
 To think what wrath would centre on my head 
 If she but knew I used it !) — no, my dear, 
 -She's not engaged — she's married, so she says ; 
 I never thought that spiritual wives 
 Would cross the Atlantic eastward ; but if you 
 Heard half the awful nonsense that she talks 
 (I call it awful, for at times, in truth. 
 It waxes irreligious — even worse), 
 You would not think her sane, I gave mamma 
 My mind about it ; but I grow quite sick 
 Of being told I cannot understand, 
 That Eucharis is different (so she is ; 
 Thank heav'n for that !) from other womenkind.
 
 Gertrude to a Friend. 1 5 
 
 Mamma quite takes her side ; I hope and trust 
 
 She may not Uve to see some evil grow 
 
 Out of this freedom. Not that she is free 
 
 In manner — quite the opposite ; I think 
 
 That man would come but very poorly off 
 
 Who dared a liberty with her ; but then 
 
 Her speech to those, myself to wit, who strive 
 
 To mend her oddities, is really shocking. 
 
 She asked me, just for instance, this day week, 
 
 If I imagined I was truly wed ; 
 
 And what my thoughts would be, if, in the day 
 
 Of Judgment, I should find myself arraigned 
 
 Amid a host of women of bad life. 
 
 Who sell themselves for money. I was vexed 
 
 Almost to quarrelling with her ; but, in truth, 
 
 At times I think her not responsible 
 
 For what she says ; and she is still, besides, 
 
 So deeply grieved at heart, if she suspects 
 
 Her words have hurt me.
 
 1 6 EtLcharis. 
 
 Well, she is engaged, 
 Or rather married, to a gentleman 
 She met ten weeks ago, one rainy night 
 We dragged her, much resisting, to the ball 
 We call the hunt ball ;— (Oh, she thanks me now 
 For dragging her !) a Mr. Arlington, 
 Who came down here for some mysterious cause 
 (For no one knew him), met her at the ball, 
 Got introduced, and then, instead of going 
 About his proper business back to town, 
 Hung about here and preyed on Eucharis. 
 You must not laugh, but, seriously, I think, 
 From what she tells me, she was first impressed 
 By his dislike to dancing, — a dislike 
 Which is but one among her oddities. 
 He is a gentleman, and well connected. 
 And has some money, tho' not much ; he paints, 
 And might, I hear, be famous, if he chose 
 To act like other mortals \ but he holds 
 All gain of money as detestable,
 
 Gertrude to a Friend. 1 7 
 
 And really has been nide in his remarks 
 About the Bank. Well, here the lovers are, 
 Roaming together all the country round ; 
 My maid, who comes from Thornton, saw them once 
 Parading through a wood three miles from home, 
 And not an hour of daylight, if you please ! 
 A nice example to the country-folk ! 
 And everything in keeping. {O dear me, 
 I hear the dressing bell ! — My dear, attend 
 To this injunction ; if you come to wed 
 Never be late for dinner ! I must haste 
 And finish up the story of my wrongs.) 
 Last night she came, and he came, and mamma, — 
 Came late and went quite early ; well enough 
 For poor mamma, — but Avhat do you think of this ? 
 Nor he nor she Avould dance a single step ! 
 And even hinted that they only came 
 Because mamma must come ; she sat and talked 
 With old Miss Pringle, whom we just endure 
 By reason of her interest in the Bank ; 
 c
 
 1 8 Eiicharis. 
 
 And as for him, he got engaged in talk 
 (Or ' married ' I suppose ! ) with Mr. Hook, 
 Our last new doctor, — (quite a clever man, 
 I hear, especially in certain things 
 Which have no interest for a girl like you ;) 
 And kept him idle, much to my chagrin, 
 For the said doctor dances charmingly. 
 Was it not all too bad? My husband says 
 He must not come again, nor Eucharis, 
 To make him look a fool. 
 
 And now good bye ; 
 O what a letter ! How will you survive 
 The reading of it ?
 
 IQ 
 
 LETTER III. 
 
 LEOXARD TO EUCHARIS. 
 
 From London: Jan. 28, 18-2. 
 Thanks for your last, more dear to me than ever. 
 This is the answer to your searching out 
 Of what love means, in spirit and in truth, — 
 Nearness and openness ; if ever time 
 Should come when we are wedded, to the world, 
 Perchance I then could find some other word 
 Which you would then more clearly understand. 
 Till then, if ever we should come indeed 
 To add the outward to the inward troth, 
 This word, I mean the second, will suffice. 
 
 You doubt my definition? Lest you should. 
 And I not Ijy to comment thereupon, 
 c 2
 
 20 Eucharis. 
 
 Let me by letter labour to explain. 
 
 A labour, truly, in the scanty space 
 
 Aftbrded by a letter, to express 
 
 INIy meaning clearly ; it will help, I think, 
 
 To lay down first some postulates, — some signs 
 
 Which have to us a like significance ; 
 
 (For all disputings which the world has seen 
 
 Spring from this chiefly, — want of one consent 
 
 As to the meaning of some common phrase.) 
 
 What then is true to us ? (It matters not, 
 
 When thus between ourselves, how truth appears 
 
 To others.) We discern two separate states ; 
 
 Not separate by Time, for ever both 
 
 Are co-existent ; one invisible 
 
 Which we have labelled spiritual, and one 
 
 Material, which is servant to the first, 
 
 And only has existence while the first 
 
 Exists to comprehend it, ever changed 
 
 To match the constant progress of the soul. 
 
 (You will recall our earlier conversations
 
 Leonard to Euchavis. 2 1 
 
 Which touched on this.) The one the dwelling- 
 place 
 Of Infinite Principle, which men call God ; 
 The other filled ^\ith facts, the best of which 
 Are men themselves ; yet is each separate fact 
 Still instinct with some share of Principle ; 
 \\'hether in lower orders matters not 
 This moment to discuss, but certainly, 
 And consciously, would men but hold it so, 
 With men ; who in an image have been taught 
 To call themselves the sons of Principle, — 
 Children of God, and therefore heirs of all 
 "Which is Eternal, Infinite, and True. 
 Men truly are so ; yet they undergo, 
 While in the visible state, a slavery, 
 Or what w^ould be so, to material claims; 
 And hence come words that shadow forth degrees 
 Of less or greater bondage, — virtue, love. 
 Sin, faith, hope, honour, mercy, and the like; 
 Only of these is love the constant chief,
 
 22 Eiicharis. 
 
 Because 'tis positive, — a thing to do, — 
 And not mere school-boy shunning of reproof; — 
 Because all else lives in it ; wherefore some 
 Have said that God is love, not meaning thus 
 To limit and confine Him, but to show 
 That love is aye the surest path to climb 
 To nearness and to likeness. Here, you see. 
 My proof comes round again ; nearness to God 
 Is love, and therefore, men being sons of God, 
 Nearness of soul is that which among men 
 Results in all those sweet performances 
 "^Miich chiefly keep forgetfulness of God 
 From laying waste all corners of the earth. 
 And openness comes after; are Ave not, 
 O Eucharis, ourselves the living proof 
 Of this great consequence ? Could I have dared 
 To ask your love, to ask to be near you, 
 And not revealed all those abiding marks 
 Of bondage to some gross material thing 
 Which I must bear about me? Mi^ht not else
 
 Leonard to Eucharis. 2 
 
 Your love have centred, not on me, with all 
 My stains and imperfections, but on that 
 I seemed to be ? upon some abstract good 
 ^^'hich still, indeed, would stand, altho' I fell 
 Beneath it, yet whose shadowy life was not 
 The life you thought to make companion of 
 And walk beside for ever? Nearness, then, 
 Is love itself, and openness is that 
 Which only makes love possible to men; 
 And as the more a soul is capable 
 Of perfect love, so will it see the need 
 Of i:)erfect openness, and will not fear. 
 Nay, will rejoice, to keep it, gaining thus 
 A rock foundation which no floods of chance 
 Can ever shake, or fortune take away. 
 
 So much for this, and now to something else. 
 Were I of those who talk of Providence 
 When aught has hapj)ened nicely to their minds, 
 I should most certainly have called that so,
 
 24 Eticharis. 
 
 Whate'er it was, which led you to discourse 
 
 Upon the disproportion which exists 
 
 Between a form and what it signifies ; — 
 
 I should have called it Providence, I say. 
 
 Because my wish has for a long time been 
 
 To open this discussion, yet I found 
 
 No means to do so ; for my conscience said 
 
 That for the end to which I wished it so 
 
 The first approach must some way come from you 
 
 Else I might charge myself, perhaps with trath, 
 
 With having overborne your feebler will. 
 
 Now it has come, the opportunity' ; 
 
 Yet let me say, before I pass to that 
 
 Which is the thought now upmost in my mind, 
 
 That it is nothing singular to find 
 
 The selfsame form embodying ideas 
 
 More distant from each other than the light 
 
 From darkness. Here is nothing singular, 
 
 Or without parallel; material fomis 
 
 Are of necessity, thro' being so,
 
 Leonard to EucJiaris. 
 
 Subject to limitation ; in ten crimes 
 That seem alike in outward circumstance 
 You will not find for two the selfsame cause; 
 And so with customs. Where comes in reform 
 But through the door of some rebellious mind 
 That feels itself unharmonied with that 
 Which others take and suffer? ' Not for me,' 
 Saith such a mind, taught by the light of God, 
 ' Are these worn garments, for they fit me not, 
 ' And I am more than they ; let me be free, 
 ' Wrongly or rightly, — rightly, as I trust, — 
 ' To fit my growth with others.' Off the old 
 And on the new ! They may be coats of skins, 
 Yet these he would have rather, for in truth 
 He feels that God, who tutored him thus far, 
 Would soonest have him naked, if himself 
 Could bear the sharp ungraduated change. 
 So off the old, while all his fellows shriek, 
 Or rend their clothes, cast dust into the air. 
 Or in some other well-accustomed way
 
 26 Encharis. 
 
 Proclaim his faith and their unfaithfuhiess. 
 
 But time proves all things ; proves the scoffer 
 
 right, 
 And that finality is not of God, 
 But of the dread materializing fiend 
 Which is God's enemy, and seeks men's souls. 
 
 Now to these forms. O Eucharis, you know 
 
 That if in aught my purposes are pure, — 
 
 Pure in the sense of being undefiled 
 
 With meaner motives which hypocrisy 
 
 Slurs over and conceals, — they are most pure 
 
 In reference to you ; and this it is, — 
 
 My knowledge that your estimate of me 
 
 Will shield me from the pain of misconstruction, — 
 
 That prompts me now to answer from my heart. 
 
 You doubt, you say. if that can ever be 
 
 A marriage in God's sight which pretermits 
 
 All but the outward form. Conversely, I 
 
 Put to you this, — what sin is there to those
 
 Leonard to EncJiar is. 27 
 
 Who pretermit the fomi and keep the rest? 
 
 The question is but abstract; we have not 
 
 As yet discerned necessity for us 
 
 To blend our outward histories into one ; 
 
 Yet would I have you well consider it, 
 
 For sake of all the sifting of old truths, 
 
 Or what men call so, which you gain thereby ; 
 
 I leave it to you, adding nothing more. 
 
 Adding no more, I said ; but I have read 
 My letter thro' since then, and something more 
 I find suggested, which I fain would add. 
 No sin in such a marriage of consent ? 
 What if there be much virtue ? What if those 
 Who, through their faith in God and in themselves, 
 Casting the world's praise far behind their backs. 
 Have made their love their church, and God their 
 
 priest, 
 Should in the future hear it said to them 
 ' Well done, good servants,' by that voice of years
 
 28 Eiicharis. 
 
 Which is the voice of Him who sits to judge ? 
 
 AVhat if they read the primal blessing thus, — 
 
 ' If God hath joined us, blasphemy it were 
 
 ' For men to separate us by their law 
 
 ' Which boasts its proud necessity to those 
 
 ' Who would be one in flesh as well as heart — 
 
 ' In flesh, the lesser thing, as now in heart, 
 
 ' The greater ? ' What if they should read it thus 
 
 And find themselves enthroned to farthest Time 
 
 Among the greatest of God's messengers ? 
 
 I leave you with the thought ; you understand 
 It is but abstract.

 LETTER IV. 
 
 EUC MARIS TO HER MOTHER. 
 
 May 15, 18-2. 
 
 dearest mother, dearer to me now 
 Than ever, in the sad discovery 
 
 That what I do for duty must include ; 
 
 A semblance of the undutiful to you, — 
 How must I tell you what a venturous start 
 My life will have accomplished by the time 
 That your dear eyes are weeping over this ? 
 For weep you will, dear mother \ not for long, 
 
 1 feel most certain, over what is left 
 Undone by us in scorn of all the world ; 
 But what is done will so much open out 
 Your visions of the true reality 
 
 That you will weep, as even I do now.
 
 30 Eticharis. 
 
 To think of it ; to think what blessed hope 
 
 The world might reach its hands to, could it trust 
 
 The voice that saith, ' I Avill be with thee when 
 
 ' Thou comest to deep waters ; ' deep, like these, 
 
 That from earth's labouring centre issue forth 
 
 To try all faiths, and all who honour them. 
 
 O you will weep, as I do even now, 
 
 To think how few are saved, how many drown, 
 
 For lack of faith to reach their hands to that 
 
 Which is our earnest of the coming time, — 
 
 The ark of our deliverance, into which 
 
 God shuts us, that a remnant may be left 
 
 To rule his new creations. Not to us 
 
 The glor}' or the honour ; not to us, 
 
 Who have through faith been made the ministers 
 
 Of that new covenant which now begins 
 
 To dawn above the darkness of the old; — 
 
 O not to us, but unto Him whose love 
 
 Is now the sea we twain have ventured on. 
 
 To seek an unknown kingdom, which doth lie.
 
 E7icJia7ns io her Alothcr. 3 1 
 
 We know, beyond all distance ever reached 
 By any keel which hath returned again. 
 
 We twain, my mother ; you at least have known 
 
 With what a glory of still lengthening days 
 
 The lengthening nights of winter saw me crowned ; 
 
 You will recall the joy you did not hide 
 
 To see me, like a ship that long has swung 
 
 At idle anchor, swayed by every tide, 
 
 And at the last with daybreak spreads her sails 
 
 That bear her forwards, full of light and wind. 
 
 Upon some holy quest; — to see me thus 
 
 Loosed from my idleness, and borne away 
 
 To better things than I had touched before, 
 
 Which, now I know, my soul had waited for. 
 
 And found in that bright morning; this you know, 
 
 And this you will remember; wherefore now 
 
 It seems less hard to make you understand, 
 
 Having a language which we both can speak, 
 
 What else must follow.
 
 32 Eiicharis. 
 
 Mother, by tlie time 
 You weep for joy to learn that so it is, 
 I shall no more be merely bride in heart ; 
 (I use the world's word ' merely,' for to us 
 The world itself is merely,) — I shall not 
 Be any more the maiden you have seen 
 Grow up from childhood; O, a richer life, — 
 For that must needs be richer which doth bring 
 More chance of pain, more certainty of joy, — 
 Will then have clothed me ; I shall have put off 
 The robe your hands have laboured, not in vain, 
 To keep all pure and holy, and put on 
 A garment God hath dipped in His own light, 
 And coloured thus with hues I see not yet, 
 But know will satisfy me in the time 
 When I shall learn to rightly name them all. 
 I shall be wed, my mother ; wherefore, then, 
 I hear you ask me, with such secrecy, 
 And not as others, in the face of all ? 
 O mother, tell me; — did your senses hear,
 
 Euckaris to her Mother. 33 
 
 Or any sense, the song which rang through 
 
 heaven — 
 A sweeter song than that which celebrates 
 A sinner's penitence — when our two souls 
 Knelt down together in our Father's house, 
 To which his call had brought us, and received 
 His infinite sanction ? Did He not require 
 And charge us both, as we would not be shamed 
 In our own day of judgment, to confess 
 If there were any just impediment 
 To keep our souls asunder ? Did He not 
 Then join our hands, and call us only one ? 
 O mother, you did hear it ! for I saw, 
 When oft you looked at us, your eyes all filled 
 With tears which are the outward witnesses 
 Of the soul's recent sojourn, on its day 
 Of rest, among the glories of that world 
 In which our love is known, and looked upon 
 As something to assure us, when we come 
 To enter it more fully, of a right 
 
 D
 
 34 Eitcharis. 
 
 To stand far nearer to the central Throne 
 Than many whom this world has glorified 
 With sainted names and crowns of martyrdom. 
 You heard that song, and therefore you will hear 
 With less misgiving than would all beside, 
 That in the strength of this our inward troth 
 We have discarded all external form. 
 Which may be useful for the world that is. 
 But which to us, who grasp the world to come, 
 Were but a mockery and base denial 
 Of what we know, and what we have confessed 
 To be the sole foundation of our love. 
 
 This, then, explains our secrecy. I fain 
 
 Had told you of our marriage ere it came 
 
 To be a thing not spoken of, but done; 
 
 But feared lest in that strained perplexity 
 
 Which just as often comes before an act 
 
 As after action it is smoothed away, 
 
 Some pain which was not needed might be brought
 
 Ell char is to her Mother. 35 
 
 To you, to Gertrude, most of all to him 
 \Miom I must guard from self-accusing thoughts 
 By strong persistence; which persistence might 
 Have seemed to you undutiful, while yet 
 I had not proved, by adding deed to thought. 
 My faith which now will strengthen you to bear 
 Attacks of doubt, or whispers from the world. 
 Not that I fear the latter ; for your sake 
 We have proclaimed our marriage openly 
 As if it were but one among the crowd 
 Of so-called marriages, which are, in truth, 
 Mere mockeries of the ordinance of God ; 
 Mere mockeries, in that so constantly 
 They serve to cover greed of rank by men 
 Or wealth by women, — wealth for which they sell 
 Their souls and bodies, doubling the disgrace 
 That follows women whom the world agrees 
 To hold condemned. This, mother, have we done 
 Against my first intention ; yet ihe thought 
 That you thereby may certainly be saved 
 D 2
 
 36 Eiicharis. 
 
 Some pain for me, who rather, as you know, 
 For you would suffer torments, makes me less 
 Opposed to what would else appear an act 
 Of faithlessness, that could not fail to bring 
 An overwhelming vengeance. 
 
 I am not 
 In mood to WTite much further ; we shall go, 
 Sped by your blessing, mother, to the south 
 Of Europe, (where, I know not yet,) and thence 
 Onward to Rome ; but you shall hear in time. 
 I feel your blessing round me ; if your doubt 
 At times should lead you faintly to despond. 
 Read then this letter,— think what I have been, — 
 Your own loved daughter, pure in God's own sight, 
 And seeking still to purify myself 
 By that communion which the soul alone 
 That much has tried it, estimates aright. 
 
 Kiss Gertrude for me, mother, — tell her all ; 
 I know that she will trust her Eucharis.

 EUCHARIS TO GERTRUDE. 
 
 San Remo : Oct. 2, 18-2. 
 Shame, say you, sister, shame? O would that I 
 Felt half the shame for what you glory in 
 As you for my transgression ! Yet not this 
 Shall now possess me ; I would fain be kind 
 Even to you, who, most unwittingly, 
 (For are you not my sister ?) have been doomed 
 To wound me. deeper than all blame could wound 
 From other lips. 'Tis not the name you give 
 To my adventure, — let me call it so, — 
 For I was well forewarned that all the world 
 Would thus regard it wrongly, — no, not this \ 
 But these imputed motives ! — Tell me now 
 What in the old times have you seen in me, —
 
 o 
 
 8 Eucharis. 
 
 \V'hat waywardness, what blank indifiference 
 
 To that external garment of reserve — 
 
 Reserve of self, in speech or company — 
 
 Which is the woman's index of a pure 
 
 And womanly soul within ? O, tell me, what ! — 
 
 That I may know if I have fallen prey 
 
 To things beneath myself, and not been raised 
 
 By cords of faith and love scarce paralleled 
 
 To things above ! — I search my life and see 
 
 No cause for condemnation. Judge me then 
 
 Not as an enemy ; ah ! had it been 
 
 An open foe who thus dishonoured me, 
 
 A\'ould I not straight have hid me from his sight 
 
 Within my robe of conscious innocence. 
 
 And so passed by? But when from you, from 
 
 you,— 
 My own loved sister, my familiar friend, 
 Who, if she failed at times to understand, 
 As we grew older, every thought of mine, 
 Yet ever loved and soothed me, — when from you 
 Come such sharp arrows, what defence remains
 
 EiuJiaris to Gertrude. 3 
 
 For me against their poison? Seems it not 
 As if myself were turned against myself ? 
 As if my conscience wore two masks, and spoke 
 Now in approval, now in words that shake 
 My life to its foundation ? ' Twas not so, 
 Or would not have been so, I dare to think, 
 Two years ago ; I mean not to deplore 
 Your changed estate, but there are duties which 
 With it you entered on, that tend to mould 
 Their ser^-ant to themselves ; — all duties do so, 
 I say with thankfulness, whose duty seems 
 A light to climb to, not a path to tread. 
 
 Wliy need I more ? Write soon to me, and say 
 You are my sister, trusting in me still, 
 And still content to trust, not understand. 
 Give me yourself, and tell me how you fare ; 
 Is it not soon that you are counting on 
 A possible successor to the Bank ? 
 When you put off your acting, I myself 
 May liave some news to tell you.

 LETTER VI. 
 
 LEONARD TO STEPHEN. 
 
 San Remo : Oct. 12, 18-2. 
 Thanks for the books, but more especially 
 The parchments ; as concerning all the cloaks 
 And other garments, you may make of them 
 A general distribution. Were I Paul, 
 Or were the children of this latter age 
 As ready to be cured of soul-disease 
 As were their fathers of infirmities 
 Pertaining to the body, I might then 
 Expect to work unnumbered miracles 
 To those who touch my garments ; I might see 
 A cabman cured of lying for the sake 
 Of one more sixpence ; I might see the waiter 
 At that famed house whereto, you most resort
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 4 1 
 
 Moved by the bonds of human fellowship, 
 
 And nothing more material, to reserve 
 
 For your especial benefit the cut 
 
 You most delight in ; I might even see 
 
 A sweeper sweep the crossing for a peer 
 
 And spurn the pence of aristocracy. 
 
 I might see greater wonders ; but, alas ! 
 
 The wicked will do wickedly ; I fear 
 
 Not in my time will the restorer come 
 
 Who shall uncripple all inheritors 
 
 Of old diseases, whether priests or peers. 
 
 And send them forth into the multitude 
 
 Leaping, and walking, and praising something else 
 
 Besides themselves. 
 
 Now will I even sing 
 Unto my well-beloved, not a song 
 Touching his vineyard ; that were also well 
 In proper season, for I know how much 
 The fruit of vineyards moveth him to joy ; 
 But sing, or rather preach a short discourse
 
 42 El ( charts. 
 
 Upon a text he loveth to propound. 
 
 Saith not that man of men, the great adored, 
 
 Whose praise is in all churches, saith he not, — 
 
 ' Whoso lacks art and science, let him have 
 
 ' Religion ; whoso hath them wanteth not 
 
 ' Religion ? ' Infinite, my Christian friends, 
 
 In number are the facts which illustrate 
 
 This glorious truth ; — who here but has not had, 
 
 At some time in his life, experiences 
 
 Which may confirm it ? Thus the man who seeks 
 
 The gilded halls of pleasure sees engraved 
 
 Upon their walls the sentence, ' He who lacks 
 
 ' Money or title, let him well take heed 
 
 ' That he has manners ; tliose who have them both, 
 
 ' Or either, want not manners.' — (I have lost 
 
 My shorthand notes, and so forbear the rest.) 
 
 But to be serious ; I will grant it true 
 
 What Goethe says, and frame upon that text 
 
 An answer to your doubts ; first thanking you 
 
 For your acceptance of my good intentions.
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 4, 
 
 I will not here discuss the positive ; 
 
 That side is rather for myself and her 
 
 Whom I watch daily, in whose face as yet 
 
 I see no trace of turning back again 
 
 From what, ^^^th her own will, she ventured on. 
 
 The negative is rather what to you 
 
 Will be most interesting, as indeed 
 
 Your doubts all turn upon it. 
 
 Firstly, then, 
 (I cannot put the sermon from my pen ■ 
 It must have written sermons at some time ;) 
 I grant the truth of Goethe's axiom 
 By taking Art to signify the path 
 To God's infinity, and Science that 
 To God's minuteness, which in very truth 
 Is also infinite ; I grant it true 
 In this respect, as linked with principles. 
 And not, as some would have it, linked with facts,— 
 A daub on canvas, or a pin-spiked fly ; 
 In this respect, as linked with principles,
 
 44 EiLcharis. 
 
 'Tis true indeed, and so magnificent 
 
 As to deserve the name of revelation. 
 
 Now let me trace my second parallel ; 
 
 ' He who has love and honour wanteth not 
 
 ' A form of marriage ; he who lacketh them 
 
 ' Let him have form,' — to bind him, who would else 
 
 But treat his -wife as if she were a whore, 
 
 His children as the great unfathered throng 
 
 Who crowd our workhouses and lawless streets. 
 
 Let me be plain ; there is not any man 
 
 Who has not love and honour in some sort ; 
 
 Though oft 'tis difficult to see wherein 
 
 That love is raised above a brute's desire, 
 
 Or honour raised above the brute's revenge 
 
 On those who think to share his property. 
 
 There is not any man devoid of both ; 
 
 But let us journey upward in the scale ; 
 
 And let us come to those with whom their love 
 
 Is not the daub on canvas, not the fact 
 
 Which oft results, though not invariably.
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 45 
 
 From their desire to draw more near to God, 
 
 Through nearness to each other ; — nearness which 
 
 Is ver)' love, the entrance whereunto 
 
 Is nakedness — is free acknowledgment 
 
 Of all high thoughts, of all corrupting stains 
 
 Which inmost conscience, like the eye of God, 
 
 Beholds, and ofttimes uses as a thorn 
 
 To prick the spirit from its sluggishness. 
 
 And this is what we strive for, this is what 
 
 We two have found and fain would show the 
 
 world, — 
 The union of two spirits, which includes 
 Material union, and alone has power 
 To lift the latter from that foul abyss 
 Of animal passions which whole hosts of men 
 Think, vainly, they escape from, when they turn 
 To settle down, as well they call the state 
 Which is to them the exhausted settling down 
 Of sand but lately drifted in the whirl 
 Of fierce cross-currents. Thus we would define
 
 46 Eucharis. 
 
 Our love, and honour rises in the scale 
 
 With love's ascension ; all minutest forms 
 
 Of speech, or act, or thought, are parts of that 
 
 Which is to love in some ways as to art 
 
 Is science ; dealing rather with the fact 
 
 Than with the principle, but through the fact 
 
 Still working to the principle, as love 
 
 Through principle necessitates the fact. 
 
 All this is true, I hear you say ; but then 
 
 What need to run so counter to the world, 
 
 When to yourselves the union you desire 
 
 Exists in spite of social formalists ? 
 
 What need ? why, eveiy need ! Remember this, — 
 
 History will teach you if my words do not, — 
 
 That action only is the lever which 
 
 Has power to move the world ; had Caesar fallen 
 
 If envy had been peevishly content 
 
 To speak of daggers ? Had the Tudor race 
 
 Been blessed in its declining, had not he 
 
 Who £rave it all its srreatness, first been cursed
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 47 
 
 For setting up his individual will 
 
 Against all custom and established law ? 
 
 Had Hampden been a hero, Washington, 
 
 Or scores beside, if thoughts that burned in them 
 
 Had found no outlet but in wordy smoke. 
 
 And not burst forth into that cleansing fire 
 
 In which new systems needs must be baptised? 
 
 These, you may say, worked for the public weal — 
 
 Worked for the world ; but such an act as ours 
 
 Has no such plea. O misbelieving dog ! 
 
 Answer me this ; — in days when you were young, — 
 
 An age ago, — would you have rather run 
 
 The risk of showing up some rainy morn 
 
 Before a magistrate, for blows bestowed 
 
 On guardians of the peace, or — (be advised !) 
 
 Or walked on Sunday in a wide-awake 
 
 Unto some fane (you best know which they are,) 
 
 Wherein sweet Fashion loveth to confess 
 
 Its week-day sins ? Your hesitation jiroves 
 
 The tnith I plead for, — that the social yoke
 
 4^ EucJioAis. 
 
 Is stronger than the legal ; that to break 
 
 This yoke is just as excellent an act, 
 
 And necessary for the world's advance, 
 
 As any just rebellion against force 
 
 Which weaves more tangible, therefore weaker, 
 
 chains. 
 I speak half-joking ; yet I would you knew 
 How seriously this matter weighs with me; 
 How certainly we both regard ourselves 
 As pioneers of greater liberty. 
 And therefore, by God's law, of greater love. 
 
 This is a postscript ; postscripts, so they say. 
 
 Contain the pith of letters ; judge if mine 
 
 Does so or not. My wife, ten days ago. 
 
 Wrote to her married sister, answering 
 
 A letter which might well be summarised 
 
 In these two words, — ' For shame ! ' It wounded 
 
 her 
 Most deeply, yet she wrote most kindly back ;
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 
 
 I saw the letter, ^^'ell, to-day there comes 
 
 A line again in answer ; ' Much she grieves,' 
 
 Saith this pure sister who has sold herself 
 
 For money to a monkey, ' Much she grieves 
 
 ' To say that till her sister has evinced, 
 
 ' By marrying the man she calls her husband, 
 
 ' Some sense of what is decent, she must cease 
 
 ' To correspond with her.' This is not hers ; 
 
 It is the banker's. Tell me now, you sage, 
 
 Whose brain is full of projects of reform, 
 
 Wliat means can be suggested to root out 
 
 This moral syphilis, — the love of gold. 
 
 Or gain, or fear of some material los§. 
 
 That poisons man's existence ? I would fain 
 
 The whole world were a Corinth, could the taint 
 
 Of body be accepted as the price 
 
 For purging out the fouler leprosy 
 
 Of self-advantage. Trade, religion, art, — 
 
 It matters'not ; all are aHke infected ; 
 
 i) for a deluge !

 LETTER VII. 
 
 MRS. JOHNSTONE TO A FRIEND. 
 
 Thornton Grange : Oct. 14, 18-2. 
 My griefs grow greater. Months ago you knew 
 How Gertrude's changed affection Avounded me, — • 
 Changed, though in truth I think she knows it 
 
 not, 
 And only deems, poor child, her duty shoAMi 
 In teaching me to see more clearly mine. 
 But is not Eucharis with me ? Ah ! herein 
 I find excuse for my long slumbering pen ! 
 Dear friend, I know that when you learn of all 
 That held me silent, you will summon back 
 The slight reproach I feel your letter breathes ; 
 For I have made resolve, after much thought, 
 And after many prayers, to tell you all.
 
 J\Irs. yohustone to a Friend. 5 1 
 
 One child still with me, — Gertrude, — (for the drive 
 Is nothing for the state she boasts of now,) 
 With me in bodily presence, though in mind 
 Departed farther than my heart will bear 
 To let me think ; — and one still near in soul, 
 But severed from me by some thousand miles, 
 And by a gulf of agonising doubt 
 Too great to speak of calmly, even to you ; — 
 Which is the greater torment ? You will think. 
 When read my letter, that for Eucharis 
 My heart should most be troubled ; yet so strange 
 Reverse of feeling true misfortune works. 
 That rather does my comfort flow from her ; 
 Comfort, for though her error may be great — 
 I cannot measure it — herself I know ; 
 And after many conflicts with myself, 
 And with the sternness of received ideas, 
 This light, thank God ! burns clear without eclipse: — 
 That to herself she is devoid of sin ; 
 That to her soul no pureness has been lost, 
 ]■: 2
 
 52 Eucharis. 
 
 But rather added ; if it were not thus 
 I could not even speak of her to you. 
 
 j\Iy darhng's letter which you find enclosed, — 
 (Pray send it back, for I am strangely filled, 
 With trembling for her safety ; such a strain 
 As must be daily on her cannot work 
 Her outward welfare, — I may soon be left 
 AVith little else to keep her memory clear :) 
 This strange wild letter will be spokesman for 
 Much I would spare myself; what next to say ? 
 Let me suppose your questions, — has it spread ? 
 (I know this one your first, for care ot me 
 And for the honour of my darling child.) 
 Not much, I think, even here ; and even here 
 Report is not so blackening as might be ; 
 A civil marriage, secretly perfoniied 
 To cheat my prohibition ; this, I think, 
 Includes all nmiours. (For my will, God knows 
 It was not wanting to her happiness.
 
 Mrs. Johnstone to a Friend. 53 
 
 For now to that which clearly separates 
 This action of my darling, (nay, of him 
 Whose name should be, in ordinary use, 
 A malediction), from all common sins; 
 That to themselves their union is no less 
 Than actual marriage; can I think on mine 
 And not be sadly tempted to confess 
 The larger share of truth upon their side ? 
 Nor this alone, but widely to the world 
 (Although, it seems, your name was overlooked,) 
 They have proclaimed that union, in such terms 
 As well may serve to cover scandal up, 
 And hide their only error. Can it be 
 That what so late was lawful on one side 
 The Tweed and Cheviots, justly may be made 
 Upon the other an enduring badge 
 Of social outlawTy? Think not, dear friend. 
 That my own daughter's trespass drives me on 
 To make excuse for hcense — to lose hold 
 Of what is woman's glory and chief gift;
 
 54 Eiicharis. 
 
 Hut think of me in this wise circumstanced ; — 
 
 My best loved child, whose soul Avas alway pure, 
 
 Purer than most, has given her fame away. 
 
 And placed herself, so would the world declare. 
 
 Upon the outcast's level ; am I then, 
 
 AVhen thus confronted with such opposite creeds, 
 
 To hold my own, and call my child still pure, 
 
 And by that estimation seem to fall 
 
 Into like condemnation ; or must I 
 
 (You know I could not!) treat her as the vile, 
 
 And cast her from my sight for evermore? 
 
 I have not done so ; I have written her 
 
 More than one letter (here you must not blame) 
 
 As to a daughter living in His sight 
 
 To whom the purest is but as the vile ; 
 
 As to a woman chaste in thought and will, 
 
 But whose misguided action (for I feel 
 
 That somewhere there is evil, though in vain 
 
 Seems often all endeavour to describe 
 
 Its proper limits) will not fail to bear
 
 JMrs. Johnstone to a Friend. 55 
 
 Some dreadful fruit of inward misery, 
 
 And, it may well be, outward ])ain or death. 
 
 Think well before you answer; vex me not 
 
 (This one request I make, and you will heed it,) 
 
 With moaning for my sorrow ; for I stand 
 
 So near the line where every sorrow ends 
 
 In comprehension of the ways of God, 
 
 That my owti grief seems nothing ; rather far 
 
 Would I that some reprover pointed out 
 
 The faults in me that now are visited ; 
 
 But, if you can, give counsel for my child. 
 
 I think of her, and think I could not die 
 
 And leave the problem of her life unsolved; 
 
 And oft my lips have formed themselves in prayer 
 
 For her redemption through some sudden pang, 
 
 Even of death, before my time shall come. 
 
 I could not leave her to the world's cold care; 
 
 For if, as greatly to my grief she does. 
 
 Her sister even mistrusts her, what should be
 
 56 Eucharis. 
 
 Looked for from those who know her heart still 
 
 less ? 
 I know there have been cases, — there are now, — 
 (How strange it seems to look for comfort, where 
 Nothing but horror used of old to dwell !) 
 Of women who have lived in good repute 
 In spite of like divergencies ; but these 
 Were much more men than women, in whose 
 
 minds 
 Lived a far stronger individual sense 
 Than women have or should, methinks, desire. 
 This, therefore, brings no comfort; Eucharis 
 Is not of these ; except in trivial points 
 Of outside manner, she was always true 
 To woman's chief distinctive character \ 
 And much I fear, from hints but vaguely dropped, 
 That she even now is learning from herself 
 The ground for such distinctions, which the more 
 Leads me to add some counsel to my own.
 
 Mrs. yohnstone to a Friend. 5 7 
 
 And now farewell ; I read my letter through, 
 
 And almost dread to send it. You will think 
 
 I seem to countenance what the world reproves 
 
 And justly visits; yet, if but for once. 
 
 And if I never were sincere again, 
 
 I must at this time, if I seek for help, 
 
 Lay bare my thoughts to you, as if to God, 
 
 And trust your love, as I would trust in His. 
 
 One thing I think of; almost I resolved 
 
 To \\Tite to him, accepting him as one 
 
 Whose will is toward goodness, asking him 
 
 To think of her who loves him, whom he loves ; 
 
 To bring his knowledge of the world to bear 
 
 Upon her future ; asking him to give, 
 
 Even now, while not too late (her child not born,) 
 
 Some form of outward sanction for its sake. 
 
 But I will wait until I hear from vou.

 LETTER VIII. 
 
 ANSWER TO THE PRECEDING. 
 
 Oct. 28, 18-2. 
 If long, dear friend, in writing, think me not 
 Remiss in feeling for you. I have wept 
 More tears upon your letter than I thought 
 I yet had left to weep. It came upon 
 The moment of my going up to dress 
 For one of Colonel Ford's most charming dinners ; 
 And much I fear that they have taken offence 
 At my unlooked-for absence, unexcused 
 By message then or more than message since. 
 But how could 1 perforce enjoy myself 
 In presence of your sad and shocking news ? 
 I stayed at home, and had for company 
 My Bible and your letter.
 
 Answer to the Preceding. 59 
 
 Yes, dear friend, 
 That was my first thought ; • Let me go,' I said 
 ■ As Hezekiah did, and spread it forth 
 ' Before the Lord;' till then I could not dare 
 To frame my own opinion, nor even now, 
 Upon so grave a matter ; what I say 
 Ls not my own, though mine agrees with it. 
 For, after consultation with myself, 
 Guided, I doubt not, in reply to prayer, 
 I came to this conclusion; ' Lay the case, 
 ' The names of course concealed, before some 
 
 mind 
 ' Of strength to comprehend it.' So next day 
 I wrote to the Archdeacon, asking him 
 If he would call. (I did this rather, dear, 
 Because of Mrs. Hunter; no one goes 
 Into that house but she finds out ere night 
 The utmost tittle of their business ; 
 And then her tongue !) Well, in the kindest way 
 He called that afternoon, and heard, concerned,
 
 6o EucJiaris. 
 
 Your story as I gave it. I forbore 
 
 To read him out the letter you enclosed ; 
 
 I thought it might so shock him, and besides 
 
 I gave him all the facts. He was most kind ; 
 
 Said that it grieved him greatly, and desired, 
 
 Next time he came, his sympathy to you. 
 
 As being my friend, beneath so sore a trial. 
 
 I say next time he came, for he declined 
 
 To give his judgment quickly; such a case, 
 
 He said, required the utmost carefulness 
 
 In dealing with it, lest, being too severe, 
 
 The bad grew worse ; ' for we are taught,' he said, 
 
 ' On some to have compassion.' 
 
 Well, he called 
 Again on Tuesday, kinder than before ; 
 Shortly, I give his judgment, which is mine. 
 First, he admitted that the case was one 
 Which was not roughly to be generalised 
 With common sins ; he thought he went within 
 The boundary of God's teaching when he said
 
 Answer to the Prccedinz. 6i 
 
 <b 
 
 That for your daughter, grievously deceived, 
 And influenced by a villain's sly pretence, 
 (For other name he said he could not give 
 To him she calls her husband, nor can I;) 
 There well may be some place of penitence, 
 If not in this world, haply in the next. 
 (At least I think he said so \ though to me 
 Nothing seems clearer in the Word of God 
 Than the unchanging nature of that doom 
 ^A'hich waits for sinners.) This point he allowed ; 
 But then God's ordinance must not be mocked. 
 Doubtless much suffering has been spared to you 
 By this part of their conduct, — calling that 
 A marriage which was none'; but then, dear friend, 
 (I cannot but admire the faithfulness 
 Of the Archdeacon to his duty here,) 
 Should pain be lessened by increase ot sin ? . 
 
 And is not each day that your daughter lives, 
 As now, beneaththe shelter of a name 
 Which is the Church's special right to give,
 
 62 Euc harts. 
 
 An insult to God's ordinance ? Is not 
 
 A greater sin, perhaps, committed here, 
 
 And in continuance, than the disregard 
 
 Of the world's social order ? (This I quote 
 
 From notes which the Archdeacon left with me 
 
 To help my memory.) For, he goes on, 
 
 God sees our weakness, will not judge our slips 
 
 As if he knew not of that feebleness, 
 
 But will most promptly visit upon men 
 
 Deceit that backs up sinning. Thus it was 
 
 That death to Ananias and his wife 
 
 Came, not by reason of their love of wealth, 
 
 But for the lie they uttered to appear 
 
 Clean from the former fault. So oft, he says, 
 
 The after sin is greater than the first. 
 
 That God would seem thereby to make more clear 
 
 The value of an early penitence. 
 
 And what does he advise ? Well, here he seemed 
 In some uncertainty. He said his part
 
 Answer to the Preceding. 6 
 
 J 
 
 Was more to point where lay most pressing need 
 Of treatment, than to name the remedy; 
 Physicians, as he said, think more of this, — 
 To trace the true disease, than means to cure; 
 And he, if he might say so, being called 
 In consultation, gladly gave his views, 
 But to yourself, who had the case in hand, 
 The more immediate treatment must be left. 
 And this I think. He thought perhaps some good 
 Might be achieved by threatening her seducer, 
 (Forgive me, dear, I cannot call him else) 
 But not by Avriting as you had resolved ; 
 For what would be more easy than for him 
 To act consistently, and put you off 
 With plausible excuses? Have we not 
 Sufficient proofs of his deceitfulness ? 
 
 Enclosed I send your letter back again, 
 And let me say, in spite of your request, 
 (1 know your sweet unselfishness of old)
 
 64 Eticharis. 
 
 How much I suffer with you. Looking back 
 
 Upon your hfe, it seems so hard to me 
 
 That you should still, whose youth was made so 
 
 sad, 
 Thus grievously be chastened in your age. 
 Is it not Solomon that compares a child 
 Of disobedience to a serpent's tooth ? 
 (Solomon or Ezekiel, — I forget;) 
 But how this truth must now be known to you ! 
 And this reminds me; — have you not been hard 
 On poor dear Gertrude ? Have you not (forgive 
 The hint, — 'tis in all kindness) been to blame 
 In making more of Eucharis, v^'ho thus 
 (Poor girl !) repays your great solicitude? 
 And may not now some comfort flow to you 
 From reconciliation with the child 
 "Who, like the eldest son, has stayed at home, 
 And not so much as vexed you with a word 
 May she not rightly feel some bitterness 
 To see her duteous life rewarded so ?
 
 Aiiszuer to the Preceding. 65 
 
 For what in her has grieved you, after all, 
 Is done from kindness and regard for you. 
 I only put the question ; you yourself 
 V\\\\ be more able to supply the answer. 
 
 And now farewell; I will not vex you more; 
 You know my motives. Write again and say 
 What you have done, or what you think to do.

 LETTER IX. 
 
 EUCHARIS TO HER MOTHER. 
 
 San Remo : Dec. 25, 18-2. 
 To-day is Christmas, mother, and to-day 
 I mean to spend with you. Would that my eyes 
 Might but behold you ! Would that with my lips 
 I might but bless you ! Vain is the desire ! — 
 Northward from here we see the distant Alps, 
 White shadows laid against transparent blue; 
 They seem so far that they might even be 
 The soul's unreachable abiding-place; — 
 To me they are so; I can sit and think 
 On what may lie beyond them, as one thinks 
 On what may lie beyond some point of Time 
 That moves up from the future, — whether life 
 The same as that we know, or something else
 
 EiLcharis to kcr Mother. 6; 
 
 Too strange for words ; — there lie the Alps, far off; 
 But O, what number of horizons lie 
 Between my lips and yours, I dare not guess ! 
 But if to-day aught move you to the hope 
 Of better things for men than they themselves 
 Can dream of yet; — if aught should wake in you 
 More trust in God than even is your wont, — 
 Then think that I am with you in that hope, 
 And in that larger trust. I write as if 
 1 stood beside you, speaking ; not to-day, 
 Nor yet to-morrow, nor next day, I think. 
 Will you be reading this. It matters not ; 
 I feel you with me daily, and to-day 
 I think I almost see you in the room. 
 
 How shall I tell you, mother? In three months. 
 Or thereabouts, I think, I sliall have died. 
 Not died as most would mean it; there are deatli.-. 
 Social and spiritual, as well as that
 
 68 Eucharis, 
 
 ^^'hich is the failure of material force ; 
 
 And each death brings its judgment after it, 
 
 And resurrection also. I shall die ; 
 
 And if you see me after, I shall be 
 
 Another Eucharis from that you knew. 
 
 There is a sentence haunting me, — the words 
 
 In which that writer to the Hebrews speaks 
 
 Of Isaac and his father ; — how he felt 
 
 That God could even raise him from the dead, 
 
 ' Whence also he received him in a figure; ' 
 
 So, in a figure, I shall shortly die. 
 
 Do you remember how the dear white roads 
 
 Cross over Thornton Common ? How from one 
 
 You see the other nearing you, until 
 
 They join just by the horse-pond? So my life 
 
 Is drawing toward another, which itself 
 
 Draws toward mine, and in the point they meet,- 
 
 The moment when my infant shall be born, — 
 
 I see my death; for ever after that 
 
 I shall live only in another's life;
 
 Eucharis to her Mother. 69 
 
 My darling's life will be the great high-road, 
 Mine but the cross-road, falling into it. 
 But O, that resurrection and that day 
 Of judgment after, when in that new life 
 I shall behold my every sin remembered, 
 My virtues, if indeed there be such things, 
 Rewarded; — how I look for it, yet fear it ! 
 O mother, think of me this Christmas Day, 
 And pray for blessings which I dare not ask. 
 
 Yet have I many blessings;— these two chief, — 
 
 My husband and my mother. You must not 
 
 Be vexed that I too answer what you wrote 
 
 In confidence to him; I write myself 
 
 To give you more assurance of his faith 
 
 To you, to truth, and, last of all, to me. 
 
 He was for some days cloudy, ere he saw 
 
 That faith to you was want of faith to me, 
 
 And that the exercise of faith to me 
 
 Was highest faith to you. You asked him not
 
 70 Eucharis. 
 
 To show your letter to me, nor the one 
 
 You sent enclosed; for some days he refused, 
 
 And much I fear I taxed his quietude 
 
 By waywardness, — but that is over now. 
 
 Three days ago he showed me them, and said 
 
 He could not think a matter which involved 
 
 Our very life, should be concealed from me ; 
 
 Arid he was right. My ever dearest mother, 
 
 How kind of you to see him as he is; 
 
 One whom a hint of injury to any 
 
 Vexes so deeply ; one whose tenderness 
 
 To me at all times, more than ever now, 
 
 I had not dreamt a man could ever feel. 
 
 As for your friend (her name you have cut off, 
 
 But I can guess it) I could speak of her 
 
 More strongly than politely; how dare she 
 
 Call Leonard by such names, and that to you ? 
 
 I could speak so ; but then, as said her friend 
 
 The gra\-e Archdeacon, ' We are taught on some 
 
 ' To have compassion ; ' and, besides, I thank her
 
 Eucharis to her Motlier. 71 
 
 For pointing out an error into which 
 W'e have too easily fallen. 
 
 You must know- 
 That I have always doubted whether that 
 We did w'as right, — to compromise our trust 
 (Even for your sake, mother, which alone 
 Led me to do so) by deceiving those 
 Who might, and would, have cast reproach on us 
 In their misunderstanding. This your friend, 
 Or her friend, rather, points most clearly out, 
 And you may tell them how we thank them for it :- 
 We, though at present Leonard has his doubts 
 Whether my strength will bear so great a strain 
 As may result from full acknowledgment. 
 I have not any; and I mean at once 
 To take some steps to let the world be tauglit 
 How small respect we have for its esteem. 
 How great a trust in God and in ourselves. 
 And this I must do quickly, for my death — 
 I )eath in a figure — draws each day more near,
 
 72 Eiicharis. 
 
 And could I face the dreadful judgment day 
 
 After my resurrection, if this sin — 
 
 This great black sin of looking back again, 
 
 Of trusting God so far, yet trusting not 
 
 In all — if this great sin should come to light 
 
 In my new life, and make my heaven hell ? 
 
 But let me but repent it while I live 
 
 And who can tell to what a wondrous height 
 
 My new life may attain? O mother dear, 
 
 Now that I stand in prospect to become 
 
 Myself a mother, I can better read 
 
 My own life's history; for I was bom, 
 
 So you have told me, at a time when you 
 
 Had lost all hope of any peace on earth. 
 
 Can I not glory in your suffering now. 
 
 And think that through my heritage of faith 
 
 Some yet still purer life shall bless the earth, 
 
 Whose children yet again shall be the light 
 
 Of many generations ? This I feel, 
 
 And think of Gertrude \ it was not her fault
 
 Eticharis to her Mother. 
 
 That she was cniel to me ; she was born 
 Mid your contentment ; if you see her soon 
 Give her some message from me that may be, 
 Percliance, the herald of new intercourse. 
 The hght is faiUng, ere I have said half 
 I wished to say, and I am weary, too. 
 But in a few days I will A\Tite again; 
 
 would it not (I dare not think it so) 
 Be possible for you to come to me ? 
 
 1 could so comfort you. 
 
 I overlook 
 
 One portion of your letter. What, you say, 
 \\'ould be my feelings if I saw my child 
 Followed through life by ignominious names ? 
 UTiat ! Shall I for myself put trust in God, 
 And not commit my children unto Him ? 
 It may be, by the time that they are grown, 
 The love we have believed in will be held 
 A thing to honour ; if not, let it be; 
 If they have no name, God will give them one.

 LETTER X. 
 
 LEONARD TO STEPHEN. 
 
 San Remo : Dec. 31, 18-2. 
 I WRITE in great perjDlexity; my wife 
 Has partly lost her reason; you are one 
 Who knows our circumstances, also one 
 Who knows where best to look for help in this 
 Or similar cases; to the facts you know 
 Add what I send you now ; lay them before 
 The most approved authority ; I care not 
 If you consult the College of Physicians 
 From one end to the other ; only spare 
 No effort, no expense, to send me back 
 Some sound advice. There is a doctor here, 
 An Englishman, and not by any means
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 75 
 
 An ordinary man; but you will see 
 What makes it quite impossible to ask 
 His counsel here; indeed, his oaati advice 
 Turns in this same direction. 
 
 In three months 
 My'^wife will be a mother; this it is 
 That forms the groundwork of anxiety, — 
 Enough, God knows, just simply in itself. 
 Three weeks ago I had a letter from 
 Her mother, asking me to ponder well 
 My wife's position, and her ccming child's 
 Before the world; this in itself was nothing; 
 Both she and I know well what we have done, 
 And would not, if we had to choose again, 
 Do otherwise; but with this letter came 
 One from a friend, sent just that I might know 
 How others looked upon me ; (she herself, 
 As might be looked for in a mother who 
 Is loved by such a woman as my wife, 
 Gives me full credit, more than I deserve,
 
 76 Encharis. 
 
 It may be, for good motives;) this sweet friend 
 
 "Was one of those who think a bishop's hat 
 
 The emblem of salvation; she had taken 
 
 The counsel of another friend, a priest, — 
 
 A sort of ' House-that-Jack-built ' passing on 
 
 From one mouth to another ; for the priest 
 
 Has got a wife, and she, no doubt, again 
 
 Has other wives and other priests, and so 
 
 Ad infi7iittim ; much am I surprised 
 
 That we have not been favoured with the though t:s 
 
 Of the fourteenth in order ; — well, this friend 
 
 Had been so kind as not to hurl us both, — 
 
 Or rather, not my wife, for I was damned, — 
 
 Into perdition for our primal fault ; 
 
 But held out little hope of anything 
 
 Except perdition, did we persevere 
 
 To mock ' God's ordinance,' and hide our sin 
 
 Beneath the shelter of those holy names 
 
 ' Which are the Church's special right to give.' 
 
 (This passage I remember). Would you think
 
 Leojiard to StcpJien. 77 
 
 That dolts like these existed ? If they read, 
 
 Without Church spectacles, the book they swear by, 
 
 They could not talk such nonsense for an hour. 
 
 I showed my wife these letters ; they were not 
 
 Intended for her eyes \ perhaps I erred. 
 
 Of course the doctrine they were meant to teach 
 
 Was nothing to her ; (let me press on you 
 
 The fact that, howsoe'er impossible 
 
 The world may think it, I have cause to know 
 
 That so far from a loss of self-respect. 
 
 Or purity, resulting to my wife 
 
 Through her departure from accustomed forms. 
 
 She gains in both ; I never saw a woman 
 
 So self-respectful, or so feminine, 
 
 Or half so pure, not even Eucharis 
 
 Before she was my wife.) The doctrine, then, 
 
 This letter thought to teach concerned her not. 
 
 But there was poison in it for her peace. 
 
 She read it through, and then she turned to me 
 
 With eyes all streaming ; ' It is true,' she said.
 
 78 EiLcharis. 
 
 ' Thank God that I am warned of it in time ! ' 
 I felt quite stupefied ; ' No, no ! ' she cried, 
 Throwing the letter from her, ' 'tis not true 
 ' That she is riglit and we are wholly wrong ; 
 ' She is most wrong ; but have we been as right 
 ' As we have boasted, Leonard ? Have we not 
 ' Been satisfied with only half a faith, 
 ' And is half faith a faith at all ? ' In brief, 
 This was her trouble, that we had not made 
 An open boast of our contumacy, 
 But advertised our maixiage, ' just as if 
 ' It were a common marriage,' — so she said ; 
 And she insisted that we should undo. 
 For God's sake, for her own sake, most of all 
 For her child's sake, before it should be born, 
 This faithless act ; for fear her child should be 
 Infected with its insincerity. 
 I reasoned with her calmly, and I thought 
 Had soothed her conscience. For the next few 
 days
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 79 
 
 She said but little, seemingly engrossed 
 With thoughts I deemed it best to let alone, 
 That they might work conviction to her mind. 
 
 On Friday last, however, as I came 
 
 Back from a sketching ramble, near our door 
 
 I met the English doctor, (we had made 
 
 Ac(|uaintance with him previously.) who seemed 
 
 On the look-out for me ; and so it proved. 
 
 My wife had sent for him, upon the plea 
 
 Of her condition, — this is his account, — 
 
 And, as he took his leave, she stood straight up, 
 
 And said with lips that trembled, and a cheek 
 
 As pale as ashes, ' I have sent for you 
 
 ' Chiefly to make beginning of a duty 
 
 'I owe the world, my husband, and myself; 
 
 ' I am not rightly Mrs. Arlington, 
 
 ' But wrongfully I have assumed the name ; 
 
 ' Though I am nothing shamed within myself 
 
 ' To be the mother of my husband's child.'
 
 So Euchm'is. 
 
 He thought she would have fainted, but she soon 
 
 Was repossessed, and bowed him to the door ; 
 
 And he, with doctor's tact, put on no show 
 
 Of wonder. This he told me, and went on 
 
 To say that not unfrequently it chanced 
 
 That women took such fancies near the time. 
 
 Before or after, of their motherhood ; 
 
 He would advise me not to be distressed, 
 
 And not to notice it, — it would pass by. 
 
 And this I thought to do ; but yesterday 
 
 She asked if I would carry to the post 
 
 Some fifty letters, all of them unstamped; — 
 
 She said this did not matter. On my way, 
 
 Thinking it strange to see an envelope 
 
 Directed to my brother, whom I knew 
 
 She never yet had seen, I opened it. 
 
 And found enclosed a card — a card of hers, 
 
 The name crossed through, and, underneath, these 
 
 words; — 
 ' I am not this, but only Eucharis,
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 8 r 
 
 ' With no name else, unless God gives me one ; ' 
 
 And so with all the rest. I did not post them ; 
 
 How could I ? But 'tis agony to me 
 
 To see her satisfaction, to be bound 
 
 To look a falsehood in the face of her 
 
 ^^'ith whom all previous converse has been true 
 
 And open, even as converse with myself 
 
 I cannot long endure it ; then she hints 
 
 At what she has accomplished; I have seen 
 
 Since yesterday a dozen times or more 
 
 Her eyes all bright \\'ith tears, — tears which I know 
 
 Are those of thankfulness. As yet she is 
 
 Too much engrossed with this to notice aught 
 
 That passes outwardly ; but she must come 
 
 To fathom my deception ; every day 
 
 Will grow more horrible with looking out 
 
 For what each day brings nearer. Can it be 
 
 That we, who long have to each other been 
 
 As we are to ourselves, may have a thought 
 
 We wish to keep peculiar to one mind, 
 
 G
 
 82 Eucharis. 
 
 And from the other keep that wish concealed ? 
 
 It cannot be ; I know that instantly 
 
 My mind would feel resistance, had she aught 
 
 To keep from me, and she as certainly. 
 
 Sooner or later, must be sensible 
 
 Of my concealment. What will be the end 
 
 I dare not think; can I have done some wrong, 
 
 And is" my chastisement to flow from that 
 
 For which I did the wrong ? Or is my love 
 
 To suffer shipwreck for sincerity ? 
 
 Take counsel for me quickly; I shall count 
 The minutes till I see your hand again.
 
 83 
 
 LETTER XL 
 
 A PHYSICIAN TO HIS WIFE. 
 
 San Remo : IMarch i, 18-3. 
 
 What news will be most welcome to you first ? 
 That I am daily stronger, and expect 
 To be in England on the day of fools, — 
 The birthday of the greatest fool of all, 
 Who thought to find a lover in a man 
 ' Of bottles all compact ? ' Shall this come first ? 
 And then what next ? That I have read ten times. 
 And twenty times, my son-and-heir's epistle. 
 Walking along his pothooks like a man 
 Who threads the zigzags of a garden path ? 
 And then what next ? To threaten John that if 
 He overdrives the chestnut, I shall hold 
 Himself responsible ? How should poor Wright, 
 G 2
 
 84 Ettckaris. 
 
 Who, notwithstanding all his cleverness 
 
 And hospital experience, does not know 
 
 A cab-horse from a hunter, — how should he 
 
 Be confident to contradict the tide 
 
 Of plausible John's assurances ? So, thus, 
 
 My letter gets a start, — the flag has fallen;. — 
 
 But which of these three horses will come in 
 
 First at the end, I know not ; some outsider, 
 
 Not in the betting, may perhaps turn out 
 
 The winner after all. ' Why, my dear Charles, 
 
 ' What nonsense are you talking ! ' No, my dear; 
 
 It is not nonsense to myself; I want 
 
 An antidote to sadness. Laugh yourself 
 
 Over these first two pages of my letter ; 
 
 Then, if the end of it should make you sad, 
 
 W^rite back such nonsense as I write to you ; 
 
 The contrast will be useful. 
 
 You remember 
 That some two months ago, as a propos 
 Of Mary Cheetham's case, I mentioned one
 
 A Physician to his Wife. 85 
 
 -Much similar which I had met with here, 
 Only before the birth, instead cf after. 
 You will remember, for you scolded me 
 For running counter to my promises 
 Of perfect rest ; well, 'tis the only case 
 I have so much as thought of; and in this 
 I acted rather as a friend than as 
 Professionally. I am glad I did so; — 
 Glad, not for any profit to myself, 
 Unless it be of more humility. 
 The lady whom I spoke of died last week; 
 It may be that the absence of all others 
 Has led my mind to rest upon this case 
 More than it ever dwelt on one before ; 
 Unless it be that story of the time 
 When first I walked the hospitals, and saw 
 The dying mother recognise her child 
 In the next bed, a fever-stricken girl 
 Long lost to home, and raving of such things 
 As one life only could have made her know.
 
 86 Eucharis. 
 
 The lady died last week; sane or insane 
 God only knows, with whom most certainly 
 She rests at last. She was not, so I find, 
 (And, finding so, am trebly glad that I 
 Kept good discretion and concealed her name) 
 She was not mad in that she charged herself 
 With having wrongfully assumed the name 
 Of wedded wife ; and how far mad she was 
 In casting off the tide, you shall judge. 
 I can say nothing; conscientiousness 
 Is one, they say, of God's mo.st precious gifts ; 
 Can conscientiousness be strained so far 
 As to become destructive ? Is there not 
 A. point at which its usefulness may end. 
 As is the case with almost every force 
 Of mind or matter, and the abuse begin ? 
 This is the problem, one of them, at least. 
 Suggested to me by the case in point. 
 
 Let me trace out her history. These two
 
 A Physician to his Wife. Sy 
 
 Were both romantic, as the world would say, 
 To madness ; he, the husband, is a man 
 ^\'hom, if T understand him, I should wish 
 To see more widely copied ; (3'ou must trust 
 My word in this ; the tale abounds in puzzles;) 
 And she was, — what she was; the memory 
 Of her death-bed is far too fresh A\-ith me 
 To let me sit in judgment ; only this 
 I needs must say, — that if she was not one 
 Of God's most pure and sainted messengers. 
 She was a deeper, bolder hypocrite 
 Than ever pen depicted. Well, these two. 
 Being romantic, married, to themselves. 
 But not before the world, although they issued 
 The usual wedding-cards, which is the point 
 The whole thing turns upon. I can't make out 
 Who knew the truth, if any one ; I think 
 Her mother knew it, who, poor thing, arrived 
 In time to see her daughter's funeral. 
 They came here in the summer, so I hear,
 
 88 Eiicharis. 
 
 And lived exclusively, not mixing with 
 The stream of English tourists; I became 
 Acquainted with them casually, and thus 
 Was much surprised that she should send for me 
 The day next after Christmas; — I have mentioned 
 What happened then, and how I looked upon it. 
 For some weeks after I was strange to them ; 
 Her husband seemed to shun me. Now, it 
 
 seems 
 (To write what I have subsequently learnt,) 
 These cards oppressed her conscience; she became 
 Not anxious, as one surely would have thought 
 A woman in her station should have been, 
 To clear herself, and clear her child, from shame, 
 But anxious to reveal it, lest the lie. 
 Descending to her child, should work it harm. 
 She sent for me ; and, more than this, she wrote 
 The truth upon some fifty of her cards, 
 To let those know to whom the lie was told 
 That she repented. Can you fathom this?
 
 A Physicimt to his Wife. 89 
 
 Her husband did not post them, though to her 
 
 He said that they were gone, and he had been 
 
 A wiser man if he had kept her bhnd 
 
 Till she was round again ; but he confessed 
 
 The fraud some five weeks later ; whereupon 
 
 She, always subject to excitement, fell 
 
 Into brain-fever, in the midst of which 
 
 Her child was born — born dead, and after which 
 
 She died of pure exhaustion. 
 
 This is all 
 The outline of her story ; could I but 
 Make your eyes see the scene I saw last week. 
 When she was dying, you would understand 
 The reason why I fill this outline in 
 With colours different from those with which 
 Such outlines should be filled; should, — for I think 
 That, sensitive as women mostly are 
 And on the world dependent, such a fi;ct 
 As marriage without order, as a rule, 
 Implies a woman void of modesty.
 
 QO Eucharis. 
 
 But in this case 'twas not so ; she was one 
 
 Of those pure women in whose presence dwells 
 
 Rebuke of liberty ; — I felt it so 
 
 First time I saw her; this, indeed, was why 
 
 I never dreamed her self-accusing speech 
 
 Was aught but madness. Can you fathom this ? 
 
 I ask again ; — I cannot. Death should be 
 
 To any woman that had wronged herself 
 
 A terror, — I have always seen it so, — 
 
 A terror likewise to the hypocrite; 
 
 Read to the end and tell me what you think. 
 
 Her mind was clear again ; she knew quite vvell 
 
 What thing had happened, and she seemed content, 
 
 More than content, to know that she had borne 
 
 No living child; and once, indeed, I thought, 
 
 Not knowing then 'twas best that she should die, 
 
 She might get through ; I do not think she 
 
 thought so. 
 And for her husband, — I must call him so, —
 
 A Physician to his Wife. 91 
 
 His mind was like a house against itself 
 Divided ; yet I think his grief is less 
 Over her death than his perplexity- 
 Had been if she had lived. The night she died 
 I thought her something brighter, and was going 
 To leave him watching while T took some rest 
 (Scold, if you like, — I care not) in a room 
 I had called mine for several nights before. 
 She was awake, and smiled, and looked at me. 
 Then at her husband, as in thankfulness, 
 Then turned as if to sleep; when, suddenly, 
 I heard him say, ' Good God ! ' and, turning 
 
 round, 
 Beheld her bending forwards, Avith her hands 
 Stretched to their farthest, striving to embrace 
 Something we could not see, and all her face 
 Lost in the seeing of it ;— I looked, he looked, — 
 Like those who heard a voice, but saw no man ; 
 A moment he supported her, and then
 
 92 Eiichaj^is. 
 
 Her hands dropped down, and sideways drooped 
 
 her head 
 Upon her husband's shoulder; — so she died. 
 
 Think over this; you cannot choose but think; 
 Was tliis the manner of a woman's death 
 Who sins against herself?
 
 LETTER XII. 
 
 LEONARD TO STEPHEN. 
 
 April 24, 18-3. 
 The world is full of inequalities ; 
 Man's life is all an inequality ; 
 His joys, emotions, sins and sympathies 
 Are, like the tidal wave which is the fruit 
 ( )f two unequal sources of attraction, 
 Mere outward signs of inequality 
 Between his inward selt and what he deems 
 His out%vard self should be. I know this now, 
 And felt it along ago ; I call to mind 
 A time when some one gave me a toy horse 
 Whose head was on a hinge and moved about 
 As the horse moved; the hinge broke, and the 
 
 head 
 Dropped off ; I know I wept for many days
 
 94 Eucluiris. 
 
 Over the headless body, — kept it safe, 
 And took it out in secret to weep over, 
 Knowing not wherefore ; now the cause I know; — 
 It was the strange bewilderment I felt 
 To find what disproportion stood between 
 My joy, and that which was the outward sign 
 Of all my joy, — the hinge that quickly broke, 
 And in its breaking left me desolate. 
 
 my true friend, if softly all my days 
 
 1 go henceforth, — if bitterness of soul 
 Be my remaining portion, it Vv'ill be 
 
 (God knows I speak not lightly !) it will be 
 The child's lament over the broken hinge. 
 I have had letters, — letters meaning well, 
 And not unconscious of my grievous loss, — 
 But all with this one burden, either sung 
 In these plain words, or plainly hinted at ; 
 ' Learn through your grief some lesson; learn to 
 know
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 95 
 
 ' The ways of life more clearly.' ^Vhat to learn ? 
 And how more clearly ? I can say with Keats 
 That all my knowledge is that joy is gone 
 And this thing woe crept in upon my heart, 
 There to abide for ever. Have they learnt, 
 Who fain would have me learn, so much as this ? 
 I cannot answer them; but now to you, 
 My truest friend in that you hold your peace 
 And mock me not with little cups of grief, — 
 INIe, whom an ocean capable to fill 
 AH conduits of sorrow, circles round,— 
 To you I would say something. 
 
 Verily 
 There have been times, there still are times, in 
 
 which 
 I seem to have fulfilled the wish of those 
 Who would that I learnt clearly, through my loss. 
 Some lesson; yet with this great difference, — 
 That they would bring me comfort, while despair, 
 Clear, black, despair is all that I can reap
 
 96 Eiicharis. 
 
 From what at such times is the meeting point 
 
 Of my remembrances. ' It better were 
 
 * That he should have a millstone round his neck, 
 
 ' And drown, than tempt God's feeble ones to sin.' 
 
 This is my millstone; which indeed at times 
 
 Has been, and is, and oft will be again 
 
 More clearly felt by me than by my teachers 
 
 Were ever seen or felt those ways of life 
 
 Which they profess to know. O selfish \\Tetch, 
 
 I cxy at such times, was thy charity. 
 
 Which should bear all things, hope, believe, endure 
 
 All things for all men, — was thy charity 
 
 Too weak to stoop to what had been to her 
 
 The complement of her fidelity. 
 
 The armour for her weakness, and to thee 
 
 A giving up of nothing ? Dost thou give 
 
 Thy body to be burned, or all thy goods 
 
 To feed the poor ? Or dost thou speak as one 
 
 Endowed with tongues of angels, one to whom 
 
 All mysteries are open ? Yet wilt thou
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 97 
 
 Refuse thy charity, and lead in sin 
 Not only her, but many after her ? 
 Then art thou nothing ; be condemned and die. 
 
 This is my millstone; O, a heavy one ! 
 
 I sink beneath it down, and down, and down ; 
 
 I seem to come to where dead bodies float 
 
 For ever in suspension; then I say, 
 
 ' If she has sinned through me, she should be here ; 
 
 ' I find her not; ' and then a light breaks through 
 
 From some immeasurable height, by which 
 
 I see her, not beside me, but far off 
 
 Where that light falls from; then I rise again, — 
 
 Not to her level ; what that level is 
 
 I shall not learn, save that it lies by far 
 
 Above my own, for certain centuries ; — 
 
 Not to her level, no ; — and yet to one 
 
 Above that level whence I lately sank. 
 
 And thus my one clear lesson waxes dim, 
 
 And I am left in that perplexity 
 
 H
 
 98 E^icharis. 
 
 Which is far holier than the certitudes 
 Of those who, seeing little, think they hold 
 Within their own lives God's infinity. 
 
 So once again I am the child that weeps 
 
 In his bewilderment, regarding not 
 
 Their littleness who turn on him and say 
 
 ' You used your toy too roughly; bear the pain.' 
 
 If I so used it, then God knows I bear 
 
 Enough of penalty to satisfy 
 
 The most severe ; but did I use my faith 
 
 Too roughly ? Nay, in that my faith itself 
 
 Is still unchanged, and in material guise 
 
 I am afflicted, surely faith it was 
 
 That proved too hard for me ; my inward self 
 
 Moved on unheedful of the outward need 
 
 For caution ; so did Eucharis move on, 
 
 Only, more faithful in that she resigned 
 
 Much more than I, her outward self was wrecked 
 
 The sooner ; I am left to float along,
 
 Leonard to Stephen. 99 
 
 My pristine faith, thank God ! unchanged, un- 
 changed, 
 That there is truth and firm reahty 
 Where most men see but clouds. That we have 
 
 failed 
 (If we have failed,) to reach it, matters not; 
 It mattered not that some were beaten back 
 By fear or baffling winds, from searching out 
 The mysteries of the western continent; 
 Columbus found it; so, when time is ripe, 
 That wind of God which for the admiral 
 Two months blew westward, contrary to wont. 
 Shall bear some on to land upon the shore 
 We failed to touch, if we have failed indeed. 
 There was not less dinned in the ears of those 
 Who sailed with him, of their impiety, 
 Than will be preached upon our history's text. 
 
 'I'han will be; for my mind is firmly bent 
 To write her memoir and to publish it, 
 
 H 2
 
 lOO Encharis. 
 
 That all may know her as she truly was. 
 Nothing is lost by truth, but all things gained; 
 Gain to her memory, lest, oozing out, 
 The bare facts of our marriage should be made 
 With some a cause for holding up of hands. 
 And villainous constructions of her nature; 
 Gain to the world, lest some, without the faith 
 To bear her baptism, should be bold to sit 
 Upon the seat which is at God's right hand. 
 You would withhold me ? If you would, T care 
 
 not; 
 No man shall breathe upon her memory 
 And hold himself by ignorance excused ; 
 And none shall dare to follow after her 
 Save by the gate through which she entered in, — 
 The gate of her own pureness, and her faith 
 To see God only and to walk with Him. 
 
 But O, my friend, what inequality 
 The world endures ! what inequality
 
 Leonard to Stephen. loi 
 
 Corrupts its judgment ! I have seen a man, — 
 A rough, shrewd man, whose greatest virtue lay 
 In carelessness of life, and hardihood 
 That brought him through where other men had 
 
 died ; — 
 I have seen such a man, but newly come 
 From wanderings in some region where the scale 
 Of man turns backward, where brute force alone 
 Is held in awe, and where his force of will 
 Has been a revelation ; — I have seen 
 This man bowed down to, feasted, magnified, 
 And all but made a saint of; so far well, — 
 Honour to whom ^tis due. But what reward 
 Reserves the world for him who ventures on 
 Into the future, carrying the scale 
 Of human nature forward, — visiting 
 Those regions yet unpeopled, save by thoughts 
 Of Him who soon will give them outward forms, — 
 Men, who shall move unfettered by all law 
 Save that of Love, of that which brings them near
 
 I02 EucJuiris. 
 
 The Infinite Perfection; — does the world 
 Keep praise for such a man ? Or stands it not, 
 Even as the friends of Bunyan's pilgrim stood, 
 To mock his setting forward ? cries it not 
 ' So would we have it ! ' when his foot has slipped, 
 Or when he loses courage ? 
 
 But w^e know 
 In what we have believed ; we look behind 
 And see those steps by which the whole world 
 
 climbs 
 Up to its Father, marked each one with blood. 
 With blood and tears of agony ; we know 
 That what men die for, other men will rise 
 To live in ; if it be that Eucharis 
 Has died a martyr, as I think sometimes, — 
 A martyr not for carelessness of forms, 
 But carefulness to keep that alway first 
 Which should be first, at any sacrifice, — 
 Her death will not be wasted, nor her life. 
 The world is changing ; God has sent his ploughs
 
 Leonard to Stephen. lo; 
 
 Into his acres ; — wars, discoveries, 
 Men with keen wits, whose precious crown it is 
 To bear the name of atheist, — men Uke steel 
 Tempered to test all armour ; in due course, 
 And even now, the sowers follow them; 
 And when, still later, harvest time is come. 
 Think you that she, whose requiem this is, 
 Will not be of the sowers who rejoice 
 Together with the reapers ? Answer not ; 
 The answer is not yours, and is not mine.
