He took heart at length, and decided that maybe, after all, the joy of life was not wholly Pagan he re called in a dim way that a brave, broad-minded early Pope had revoked the edict against the reading of the " Pagan authors/ and that Patrick himself had had the insight to see the gleam of divinity and beauty in the lore of the Celtic gods who had uplifted the souls of men in the natural ages before him.

His brow grew clearer, his eyes brightened, and he felt as happy as in the artless, eager days when he discoursed on art and wrote poetry for the Columban League, within the soul-sheltering walls of Maynooth.
