One idea only still throbbed life-like within me--a remembrance of God: it begot an unuttered prayer: these words went wandering up and down in my rayless mind, as something that should be whispered, but no energy was found to express them--
Una sola idea mi agitava ancora: l'idea di Dio. Preparai allora una preghiera; le parole mi venivano alla mente, ma non avevo la forza di pronunziarle.
