Description

Excerpt from Dorothea: A Story of the Pure in Heart Slowly beyond the far, fathomless darkness the first lines of faint color crept, trembling, along the horizon. In the dull, grey silence. The sleepy earth hung, still. Shade after shade of pallid coldness lengthened, in sluggish certainty of increase, across the slaty sky. And the laggard hours, with ashen cheeks, gazed backwards, upon the sunless depths that yawned below. Suddenly, from out the amber vastness of the empty east, two white rays flung themselves forwards, as if a woman, up rising from slumber, should flash across the sable coverlet the pearly radiance of her arms. Yet nothing stirred. The million lives that start awake to greet a summer sunrise were dead, or sick, or numbed to rest in wretchedness and want. Upon the grim December daybreak weighed the lonliness of death. One by one, as shrouded lamps are lighted in some funeral chamber, vague wisps of whiteness broke the vacant dome of heaven.
