them howl in the chill night outside and go their way or perish. I await my own
Guest who shall reveal himself from within; for him I keep the hearth clean and
warm. I tend the fire patiently and assiduously. The flames brighten and mount
upward -each a voice that calls and prays for the coming of the Beloved.</p>
