song.



So Barbara for a while bade farewell to those who loved her, bade
farewell to Anthony her heart's heart. Once more, alone, utterly alone,
she laid her on the couch in the great chamber with the translucent dome
and thence her spirit was whirled back through nothingness to the hell
of Earth, there to be born again in the child of the evil woman, that it
might save a soul alive.



Thus did the sweet and holy Barbara--Barbara who came back--in atonement
of her sin.

For her reward, as she fights on in hope, she has memory and such
visions as are written here.
