"People have said that it was queer for a man to spend nearly balf of his life, and he lived for $0 yeara, in the embrace of that fan- tastio love. I do not think it was queer. I think it was a passion, a strange bizarre passion, perhaps, but nevertheless a passion to me strange And wonderful He did not Always Uve with his cave after he had come lo know it-but it called him back. called him back relentlessly and ir- resistibly. called him at Increasing- .v frequent Intervals until he came to give himself entirely to It. And. is true lovers are wont to do. they become as one "
