The Catholic Reformation
Abstract
Day with its blue sky overhead patched with flocks of sun- kindled clouds grows weary, making way for on-coming dark with its mystery. Tree-leaves, touched by a chill sigh in the wind, redden with the sunset and turn silhouetted against the purple sky.As the gloom rises out of the earth bands of dark red gather on the horizon, pass upward and merge into dark blue overhead. The sun swings behind the hills, the red fades from the leaves, the purple darkness vanishes from the sky, the cloud colors die away and the whole world glimmers with the fading pastels of twilight. Silence gathers itself out of the dark deepened by the hushing of the wind and whispering voices; there is a pulsing of inward life, sleepless as the onward-moving sea. But everywhere through the night-shrouded woods and shadowy trees, there is a Host calling to us through the gloom.
