Suffering childhood was always to me the saddest
of sights. D y i n g childhood not so. At least I think so. For
I never saw a child give up its puré soul and I never lost one
myself — so perhaps I have no right to speak ön the subject.
Still, I must tell you that the heavenly sight of which
you speak — the dying child raising his hands and eyes
to the sky with an expression of life and hope from above, is
so impressive, that to me its puré light falls softening even
upon the stern gloom of a mothers grief.
I always thought that true consolation cannot come to
the grief — it must come o ut of the grief itself, as
an ängel emerging from the deep. So it will with you. For
you have seen a puré soul breathe its last, and a möre
celestial sight is not to be seen ön earth.
God be with you! —
