But the third pool lay more in shadow, and by that, as it seemed to Beatrice, a light was shining. Yes, a light was shining and a voice was calling. BUT THE THIRD POOL LAY MORE IN SHADOW AND BY THAT AS IT SEEMED TO BEATRICE A LIGHT WAS SHINING YES A LIGHT WAS SHINING AND A VOICE WAS CALLING
e light might lead her steps. So one night while Antony banqueted strangely with Silencieux, she drew her cloak around her and stole up the wood, to look a last good-bye at him as he sat laughing with his shadows. "Good-bye, Antony, good-bye," she cried. "I had but human love to give you. I surrender you to the love of the divine." Then noting how full of blossom were the lanes, and how sweet was the night air, and smitten through all her senses with the song and perfume of the world she was about to leave, she found her way, with a strange gladness of release, to the Three Black Ponds. It was moonlight, and the dwarf oak-trees made druid shadows all along the leafy galleries that overhung the pools. The pools themselves shone with a startling silver—so hushed, so dreamy was all that surrounded them that there seemed something of an unnatural wakefulness, a daylight observation, in their brilliant surfaces,—and on them, as last year, the lilies floated like the crowns of sunken queens. GO TO MEET HER AT NIGHT THAT THE LIGHT MIGHT LEAD HER STEPS SO ONE NIGHT WHILE ANTONY BANQUETED STRANGELY WITH SILAJO SHE DREW HER CLOAK AROUND HER AND STOLE UP THE WOOD TO LOOK A LAST GOOD BY AT HIM AS HE SAT LAUGHING WITH HIS SHADOWS GOOD BYE ANTONY GOOD BYE SHE CRIED I HAD BUT HUMAN LOVE TO GIVE TO YOU I SURRENDER TO YOU THE LOVE OF THE DIVINE THEN NOTING HOW FULL OF BLOSSOM WERE THE LANES AND HOW SWEET WAS THE NIGHT AIR AND SMITTEN THROUGH ALL HER SENSES WITH THE SONG AND PERFUME OF THE WORLD SHE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE SHE FOUND HER WAY WITH A STRANGE GLADNESS OF RELEASE TO THE THREE BLACK PONDS IT WAS MOONLIGHT AND THE DWARF OAK TREES MADE DRUID SHADOWS ALL ALONG THE LEAFY GALLERIES THAT OVERHUNG THE POOLS THE POOLS THEMSELVES SHONE WITH A STARTLING SILVER SO HUSHED SO DREAMY WAS ALL THAT SURROUNDED THEM THAT THERE SEEMED SOMETHING OF AN UNNATURAL WAKEFULNESS A DAYLIGHT OBSERVATION IN THEIR BRILLIANT SURFACES AND ON THEM AS LAST YEAR THE LILIES FLOATED LIKE THE CROWNS OF SUNKEN QUEENS
