Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when
it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense
and anxious, groped her way toward the shore 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 no
way of knowing how near the harbor was. ‘Light give me light’ was the wordless
cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
