Vain regrets! useless lamentation! The damp and dark earth covers her delicate form! Her beautiful eyes, her pure brow, her fascinating smile we shall never see again--never--never--if we live thousands of years.
Every hour that pa.s.ses but widens the distance between us. Her beauty will fade in the tomb, her name be lost in oblivion! For soon we shall have disappeared, pale forms bending over a marble tomb!
It is very sad, sinister and terrible, but yet it is best so. See her in the arms of another: Roger! what have we done to G.o.d to be d.a.m.ned alive! I can pity Raymond, since death separates him from Louise. May he forgive me! He will, for he was a grand, a n.o.ble, a perfect friend. We both failed to appreciate him, as a matter of course; folly and baseness are alone comprehended here below!
We ran a desperate race for happiness! One alone attained it--dead!
EDGAR DE MEILHAN.
THE END.
