She jumped into the boat and rowed out on the lake, to then take out a travel book, letting herself be lulled by the movement of the waves, she read, she dreamt herself far away, in foreign lands where she always found her friend, to whose heart she had always remained close, as he was to hers.

Part of that Power, not understood,
Which always wills the Bad, and always works the Good.
