===''Fourth Book, chapter VI''=== <blockquote>"... and the God said, "Did not his life end, in fullness and in due time, as was meted out by time and fate?"</blockquote> <blockquote>And Maura trembled before her Lord, and said, "Yes, he did, Lord." </blockquote> <blockquote>And the God said, "Do you not know that it is an offense to your God, to deny his will, in matters great and small, but above all in the matter of life and death?" </blockquote> <blockquote>And Maura fell to her knees and wailed, "I loved him Lord, and I could not live without him!" </blockquote> <blockquote>And the God said, "And did you call him back from beyond life, with dark powers, and the force of mortal will?" </blockquote> <blockquote>And Maura could not speak, so afraid was she, but her tears spoke eloquently. </blockquote> <blockquote>And the God said, "Hear me, Maura, for you have disobeyed my will in this matter, and returned to life one whom I had called to my bosom, for which by all rights I should destroy you and your children and your children's children. But you disobeyed me for love, which I hold sacred, and so I deem that you shall not be parted from your husband by death, and your children shall be as my children." And at the word of the God there fell from the sky a star, and Maura and her husband, who walked but did not live, were destroyed by holy fire, together..." </blockquote>
