Excerpt from Through the Ages, Vol. 2 of 3: A Psychological Romance
"When the hours of Day are numbered,
And the voices of the Night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
To a holy, calm delight;
"Then the forms of the departed
Enter by the open door;
The beloved, the true-hearted,
Come to visit me once more."
Walter. "The long day is over, my Conchita, and night at last again spreads her shades, filling my heart once more with joy, and my lonely existence with life; the day is over, and with it are ended the follies and the troubles of the unmeaning world, and the calm and majestic presence of the night is announced by the thousands of shining lights that sparkle on whichever side I cast my eyes. Night has come at last, and with it the coveted reward of a long and weary day; for thou, 0 night, art the wondrous book in which is written the history of our past, in records kept. by suns; and when I turn the page, lo! thou castest thy mantle over all my cares, and they become as past for me. Day is over now, Conchita, and my patience would claim its reward. Will you not come?
