[Love Eternal by H. Rider Haggard]@TWC D-Link bookLove Eternal CHAPTER XXI 14/17
Great vistas seem to open to my soul and down them I walk with Godfrey for ever and a day, and over them broods the Love of God in which are embodied and expressed all other loves.
Oh! how wrong and foolish was I, who for so many years rejected that Love, which yet will not be turned away and in mercy gave me sight and wisdom and with these Godfrey, from whose soul my soul can never more be parted.
For as I told you, my darling, ours is the Love Eternal.
Remember it always, Godfrey, if ever your eyes should see these words upon the earth. Afterwards there will be no need for memory." So the diary ended. They invalided Godfrey out of the service and because of his lung trouble, he went to the house that Miss Ogilvy had left him in Lucerne, taking Mrs.Parsons with him.
There too he found the Pasteur, grown an old man but otherwise much the same as ever, and him also he brought to live in the Villa Ogilvy. The winter went on and Godfrey grew, not better, but worse, till at last he knew that he was dying, and rejoiced to die.
