with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with
beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship
before my education began, only I was without compass or
sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the
harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of
my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very
hour.
