Author Description

Excerpt from The Master Christian He raised his eyes devoutly, and instinctively touched the silver crucifix hanging by its purple ribbon at his breast. The orange-red glow of the sun encompassed him with fiery rings, as though it would fain consume his thin, black-garmented form after the fashion in which ames consumed the martyrs of old, - the worn figures of mediaeval saints in their half broken niches stared down upon him stonily, as though they would have said, - So we thought, - even we - and for our thoughts and for our creed we suffered willingly, - yet 10, we have come upon an age of the world in which the people know us not, - or knowing, laugh us all to scorn.
