He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
That made him preach the louder, long for a church
In which his voice would roll its cadences,
After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.”

“I know myself now, and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience.”
