solitary life, where the prisoners’ thoughts are
wrapped up in themselves. One must read of
the martyr-filled prisons of the Inquisition, of
the crowds chained together in the Bagnes,
of the hot, lead chambers of Venice, and
the black, wet gulf of the wells – be thoroughly
shaken by these pictures of misery, that we
may with a quieter pulsation of the heart
wander through the gallery of the prison-cells.
Here is light, here is air; – here it is more
humane. Where the sunbeam shines mildly in
on the prisoner, there also will the radiance
of God shine into the heart.
