St. John, no doubt, would have given the world to follow, recall, retain her, when she thus left him; but he would not give one chance of heaven, nor relinquish, for the elysium of her love, one hope of the true, eternal Paradise.
Saint-John avrebbe certo dato il mondo intero per seguirla o trattenerla quando la lasciava; ma non le avrebbe sacrificato il paradiso.
