So man distrusts the saintly snow on winters hill, Fearing what suns of spring may send, destruction tear Through larch and pine to village, rend its roofs in air. This is Gods virgin, lords : I bid your hearts with mine Rise in thanksgiving. Love was hid in that cold shrine. And now I bid you welcome well the fairest bride That ever graced our citadel. Great Father, guide Our wedded steps through joys too grea…

…ce shall be obtained, and a new marriage contracted with Alice’s new lover. I forget the disposition of the children, whether it was odd man out, or the first Jack, who had to look after the business. But, three months later, the tragedy begins. The ‘worm’ is struck by the ap- palling thought that perhaps Alice’s new lover may not fall in so simply with the scheme.

And in the fulness of her time did she give birth to a man child, and they called him Perdu’ R Abu.4 Now the child grew, and the tears of the mother fell, and the wrath of the father waxed: for by no means would the boy strive in his trade of weaving. The loom went merrily, but to the rhythm of a mantra; and the silk slipped through his fingers, but as if one told his beads. Where- fore the work was marred, and the hearts of the parents were woe because of him. Bu…
