"It is the black curtain of destiny which drops down before our
brightest dreams. How often the phantoms of joy regale us, and dance
before us --- golden-winged, angel-faced, heart-warming, and make an
Elysium in which the dreaming soul bathes, and feels translated to
another existence; and then --- sudden as night, or a cloud --- a
word, a step, a thought, a memory will chase them away, like scared
deer vanishing over a gray horizon of moor-land!

I know not justly, if it be a weakness or a sin to create these
phantoms that we love, and to group them into a paradise --- soul-
created. But if it is a sin, it is a sweet and enchanting sin; and if
it is a weakness, it is a strong and stirring weakness."
