EPIGRAPH: But evil things, in robes of sorrow, / Assailed the monarch's high estate; / (Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow / Shall dawn upon him desolate!) / And round about his home the glory / That blushed and bloomed, / Is but a dim-remembered story / Of the old time entombed.

EPIGRAPH: I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul. . . . Since I knew you, I have been troubled by a remorse that I thought would never reproach me again, and have heard whispers from old voices impelling me upward, that I thought were silent for ever. I have had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing. . . .
