And while these words were fading on her lips

and dying, she heard him call her in a tender, gentle voice:

— "Mary... O Mary..."

And she turned... and it was as though a thick veil had lain upon her eyes and fallen away; and his countenance shone forth — that spacious brow, those serene eyelids, that radiant face about which hovered calm, assurance, and peace...

With eyes moist with tears, and lips trembling with prayer, she gazed at him, reaching for the hem of his garment, crying from the depths of her depths:

— "My Lord... and my God!!!"

But his right hand rose as a bar-

rier between them, and his voice came forth calm in its gentleness, serene in its tenderness:

— "Do not touch me, Mary... I have returned with the dawn...

And I shall forever return to those in whose horizons there is a newborn dawn. Go now to the companions... and live together this life that you have been given... Love one another as I have loved you... and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free... And behold, I am with you to the end of days..."

And Mary did not know whether she was waking or dreaming; yet she felt — as one feels who is awake and asleep at once — that a heavy stone had loosed itself from

her neck and fallen away... And behold, she was rising from amid the depths; the waves had stilled, the wind had quieted, and Jesus looked forth from the places of sunrise, moving gently above the summits, like a morning descend-ing from wide blue heavens...
