This is life! cried Madeleine.
gpt
Glorious life!

We can fight together, you and I, she went on.

No wind shall conquer while we hold together. It may roar at us, but we are young and strong, and the wind is old and worn. Think you that you can bear with me always? I promise you I will never use deceit again. We shall be together when the winds have all passed under heaven, and the trees are gone, and the seas have dried. Our souls will live in the same life and the same love. Together while the old world crumbles, and the sun becomes cold, and the moon fades. There is no death. We shall close our eyes one day and change our home. Life will run on for us, the same magnificent life of love.

There is no death,

How many thousand years has this wind rushed upon this hill? How many thousand shall it beat after we have changed our home? We are made to live, Geoffrey. It is not we who are sick, not we who are oppressed. We are made of stuff that does not perish, not flesh and blood which wither, but breath and love. Kiss me, Geoffrey, kiss me with your soul.

Sweet, you have more knowledge than I,
gpt
See that huge cloud! How the monster wishes to smother us! There it rushes, flinging its rain to spite us.

I shall see this wild spot for ever,

In years to come, said Madeleine,
human
I can see the faces of my friends,
gpt
Look there, she entreated.
human
Tell me what you see.
gpt
Heaven opening. He paused.
human
I see also my duty to my neighbour.
gpt
I would have you obey that message, lest by offending God we wreck our happiness.
human
I live upon your will.
gpt
You must leave me. You shall not see me shed a tear. But I must have you for this day, and afterwards --she caught her breath.
human
Had ever a young soldier so brave a love?
gpt
No ifs, she implored, when her ears caught his broken words.
human
The doubter fails. Look upon the deed as done, and God shall pardon the presumption, because He was once a young man upon earth, and He knows the longing of a brave heart. Already I think of you, not as going forth to duty, but as returning to claim me for your bride.
gpt
I shall succeed, he cried, in a voice which defied the winds.
human
Madeleine, you have made me strong. Listen, sweet. I have a home in Virginia, most fair, they say, of England's colonies, and I come to take you there. I have a house in a garden where the sun never sets, and where a river runs gently to the sea between banks of flowers. There is no hard winter or rough wind there, neither enemy nor noise of battle to terrify your dear heart. There the potato grows, and the white tobacco blooms scent the night, and there the voice of Nature sings of peace. Will come with me, sweet?

You have learnt your lesson,
