While he attempted to relight it, he thought he saw a faint light at the foot of the whitebeam, as of a radiance welling out of the earth; but he dismissed it as fancy. WHILE HE ATTEMPTED TO RELIGHT IT HE THOUGHT HE SAW A FAINT LIGHT AT THE FOOT OF THE WHITE BEAM AS OF A RADIANCE WELLING OUT OF THE EARTH BUT HE DISMISSED IT AS FANCY
d. This time he knew he was not mistaken, but to believe it true—O God, he must not believe it true. Reality or fancy, it was an evil thing which he had cast out of his life—and he closed his ears and fled. Yet, though he loyally strove to quench that music in the sound of Beatrice's voice, deep in his heart he knew that the night would come when he would take his lantern and spade, wearily, as one who at length after hopeless striving obeys once more some imperious weakness—and look on the face of Silencieux again. Too surely that night came, and, as in a dream, Antony found himself in the dark spring night hastening with lantern and spade to Silencieux's grave. It was only just to look on her face again, to see if she really lived like a vampire in the earth; and were she to be alive, he vowed to kill her where she lay—for into his life again he knew she must not come. As he neared the whitebeam, a gust of wind blew out his lantern, and he stood in the profound darkness of the trees.  WORD RHSARGAM SOMEWHERE ON THE WIND THIS TIME HE KNEW HE WAS NOT MISTAKEN BUT TO BELIEVE IT TRUE O GOD HE MUST NOT BELIEVE IT TRUE REALITY OR FANCY IT WAS AN EVIL THING WHICH HE HAD CAST OUT OF HIS LIFE AND HE CLOSED HIS EARS AND FLED YET THOUGH HE LOYALLY STROVE TO QUENCH THAT MUSIC IN THE SOUND OF BEATRICE'S VOICE DEEP IN HIS HEART HE KNEW THAT THE NIGHT WOULD COME WHEN HE WOULD TAKE HIS LANTERN AND SPADE WEARILY AS ONE WHO AT LENGTH AFTER HOPELESS STRIVING OBEYS ONCE MORE SOME IMPERIOUS WEAKNESS AND LOOK ON THE FACE OF SELA TOO SURELY THAT NIGHT CAME AND AS IN A DREAM ANTONY FOUND HIMSELF IN THE DARK SPRING NIGHT HASTENING WITH A LANTERN AND SPADE TO SELAGO'S GRAVE IT WAS ONLY JUST TO LOOK ON HER FACE AGAIN TO SEE IF SHE REALLY LIVED LIKE A VAMPIRE IN THE EARTH AND WERE SHE TO BE ALIVE HE VOWED TO KILL HER WHERE SHE LAY FOR INTO HIS LIFE AGAIN HE KNEW SHE MUST NOT COME AS HE NEARED THE WHITE BEAM A GUST OF WIND BLEW OUT HIS LANTERN AND HE STOOD IN THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE TREES
