When he looked up the face was over him, and the glorious eyes were loving him; and they two were there alone together.
He laughed a deep laugh; then started up like one suddenly awakened from sleep.
"Oh, God!" He cried, "I cannot wait; I cannot wait! I want to die; I want to see Him; I want to touch him.

Let me die!" He folded his hands, trembling.

"How can I wait so long--for long, long years perhaps?
I want to die--to see Him.

I will die any death.

Oh, let me come!" Weeping he bowed himself, and quivered from head to foot.
