Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Knights of St. John, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance The unhappy Cesario lost all memory of himself and others, for several weeks after this. When he recovered his recollection, he found himself in a convent among the Appennines, whither he had wandered in the delirium of despair. He looked round and saw a narrow cell, with a single ray of light admitted at a narrow aperture; it illuminated four stone-walls, without other furniture than a huge wooden crucifix, and the pallet he lay on. That ray of light, however, streamed on the saintly figure of a monk, who sat by his rugged bed with the sacred volume on his knee. Cesario addressed to him the first rational words he had uttered for several weeks. The holy man started at the sound of his voice, closed his book and approached nearer; his face was covered with his cowl, but his breast heaved, and his hands trembled with kindly sympathy. He did not speak. Cesario addressed him again: the monk bowed his head, crossed himself, pointed to his habit, then to heaven, and withdrew.
