Through stained glass

by George Agnew Chamberlain

  He stood stock-still and read the words again, then he raised his eyesand looked slowly about him. Street, faces, trees, walls, and towersfaded from his view. He stood in the midst of an illimitable void. Aterror of loneliness fell upon him. He felt as though his full heartmust speak or break, but in all his present world there was no ear tohear. Suddenly the impulse of a lifetime, often felt, seldom answered,came to him with an insistence that would not be denied. Go to Natalie.Tell Natalie.
