Chapter IX
WHEN WILL THE NIGHT BE PAST? "Alas! God Christ--along the weary lands, What lone invisible Calvaries are set, What drooping brows with dews of anguish wet, What faint outspreading of unwilling hands, Bound to a viewless cross with viewless bands. While at the darkest hour what ghosts are met Of ancient pain and bitter fond regret, Till the new-risen spirit understands." Doctor Macrae left London immediately after this interview, but he did not at once return to Glasgow.
