Upon my horse of air I ride;
Here let my grizzled ashes stay;
But take; ah! take my heart inside!
Aurora! Aurora!〃
At this moment; just as a fit of the most uncontrollable laughter was
about to seize her; she saw a flame which had just consumed the word
Horatio reach Mr。 Lavender's right calf。
〃Oh!〃 he cried out in desperate tones; stretching up his arms to the sky。
〃Now is my hour come! Sweet…sky; open and let me see her face! Behold!
behold her with the eyes of faith。 It is enough。 Courage; brother; let
me now consume in silence!〃 So saying; he folded his arm tightly across
his breast and closed his lips。 The flame rising to the bottom of the
weekly which had indeed been upside down; here nipped him vigorously; so
that with a wholly unconscious movement he threw up his little legs; and;
losing his balance; fell backwards into the arms of Aurora; watchfully
outstretched to receive him。 Uplifted there; close to that soft blue
bosom away from the reek of the flame; he conceived that he was consumed
and had passed already from his night of ghosts and shadows into the arms
of the morning; and through his swooning lips came forth the words:
〃I am in Paradise。〃
