always--one ray that eludes all my efforts to expel it. Under the door
it comes, or through some unguessed cranny in the wood-work. I have in
vain tried to find the place of its entrance.
The color of the moonlight in this climate is of a mellow amber--so I
cannot understand why that pallid ray that visits me so often, should
be green--a livid, cold, watery green; and in it, like a lily in an
emerald pool, I see a little white hand on which the jewels cluster
thick like drops of dew! The hand moves--it lifts itself--the small
fingers point at me threateningly--they quiver--and then--they beckon
me slowly, solemnly, commandingly onward!--onward!--to some infinite
land of awful mysteries where Light and Love shall dawn for me no more.
