Excerpt from The Fair Maid of Connaught: And Other Tales for Catholic Youth "Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal, 'Dust thou art, to dust returneth, ' Was not spoken of the soul." Kathleen stood in the doorway. A truly beautiful picture she made, the tall, strong, yet lithe form, draped in the dark blue cloak, the hood falling back from a head whose contour and features were purely classical in their beauty. The limpid whiteness of her complexion, through which the blue veins were traced in all the aristocracy of blue blood, was almost unearthly in its purity, while the carnation bloom on her cheeks had deepened with the healthy exercise she had been taking over the moors, and the dark chestnut hair came rippling down from beneath the hood like the lovely tendrils of some vine.
