And so here, O Reader, has the time come for us two to part.  Toilsome was our journeying together; not without offence; but it is done.  To me thou wert as a beloved shade, the disembodied or not yet embodied spirit of a Brother.  To thee I was but as a Voice.  Yet was our relation a kind of sacred one; doubt not that!  Whatsoever once sacred things become hollow jargons, yet while the Voice of Man speaks with Man, hast thou not there the living fountain out of which all sacrednesses sprang, and will yet spring?  Man, by the nature of him, is definable as ’an incarnated Word.’  Ill stands it with me if I have spoken falsely:  thine also it was to hear truly.  Farewell.

THE END.
