Excerpt from Hope Trueblood

On an evening, two weeks after the completion of The Sorry Tale, its invisible author gave to Mrs. Curran the following lines on the nameless waif:

What art thou? A sinful thing.
Builded up of what? Sinister, hidden wishes,
Broken troths, folly-love;
Broken hearts, heavy, heavy hearts;
Empty days, days of waiting, sunless days.
Thou wast a night, a dreaded night!
Thou wast the sign of sin.
Man looketh upon thee and turneth him away,
Nor doth womankind smile upon thee,
But draw their cloak of virtue close,
And hide within it. They shut their eyes.
They hide from thee. They cast their pence
To build hideous walls to shut thee away.
They will not hear thee, for thou art
A sinful thing. And yet, I look upon thee,
Thou babe that laugheth unto answerless days;
That reacheth arms unto naughts; that waileth
Unto empty nights; that waiteth soothing
From hands that will not soothe, that comfort not;
That separate thee from thine, blindly looking not
Unto the sundered hearts, the sundered lives.
Seeing but the sin.

Man hath writ law, and God undoeth it!
The kingdom of earth is shut unto thee.
