Synopsis

Excerpt from Domus Doloris

Almost be distinguished. They veered away once more, to hang and linger, as if about a corner which they could not turn; they grew thin as the hum of insects preventing sleep. At last they were wholly round; they were no longer heard. A great contentment rose. Yet still there was no peace; a new strain pressed the mind, which would be now as sured that they were gone for the last time, utterly The tension became pain; there was a longing to hail and have no answer, but all power was lost over lips and tongue; in night mares one had known such impotence, but this was more than dream. At the point of anguish came relief. A sweet singing filled the ears, diffused at first, but then divided into a full harmony that died like chords under a bow drawn slowly to the tip. Silence had now a presage of some divine ap proach. Oblivion flowed up like evening gloom. Life moved with it to the edge of a great deep; it was drawn over; it floated down and down, wound in the arms of Sleep.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Domus Doloris The visible world was gone; sounds followed. The voices which but now were loud in the ears, grew faint as whispers, or as tones of men shouting far away; they were importunate in their faintness; they kept thought strained after a meaning. There had been hope to glide out of consciousness, to float round some bend of time, as a straw on a meadow brook, from the bright light to the dim and thence on into a darkness; but here was slow escape, as it might be through briers, from which, again and again, the caught garment must be freed. This was a persecution of delays; it waked a fretful mood, bitter and powerless as wrath of age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
