How wide the gulf between Henry as he was and Henry as Helen thought he ought to be! And she herself-hovering as usual between the two, now accepting men as they are, now yearning with her sister for Truth. Love and Truth-their warfare seems eternal. Perhaps the whole visible world rests on it, and if they were one, life itself, like the spirits when Prospero was reconciled to his brother, might vanish into air, into thin air.
