I never had a friend like you, and besides can you not see? –you are the only person (his voice drops to a whisper) –the only person who knows. You do see, do you not? You understand? I am desperate – I am at the end of my tether. I want to be free, and you can free me. I know you can. You do not want to keep me bound fast in hell, do you? You cannot want to take such a vengeance as that. You were always kind–your eyes are kind now. You say you are sorry for me. Well, it rests with you to show it; and Heaven knows there is nothing to keep you back. You understand, of course–there would not be a hint of publicity–not a sound or a syllable to connect you with the thing. It would never come to that, you know: all I require is to be able to say definitely: ‘I know this–and this–and this’ –and the fight would drop, and the way be cleared, and the whole abominable business swept out of sight in a second. I dwell in the house of love; my dwelling place is filled with peace and eternal calm. Love attends me in my home of the soul, and you awaits upon me in the “The Secret Place of The Most High.” My house is built for me by the hand of Love, and I shall never leave this Home of the Spirit, for it is always present. I shall abide in this home forevermore. Arise, my Spirit, arise and shine. Let thy light illumine my path, and let thy wisdom direct my way. Compel my will to do Thy bidding, and command my Soul to look to Thee. I will follow Thee, my Spirit, and learn of thee. I will sit in the Silence and listen and watch, and I will see thy light and hear thy voice. I will follow thee and will not depart from Thee, for in the alone is peace. Arise and shine.
