The Mystics

Excerpt from The Mystics: A Novel
Of all the sensations to which the human mind is a prey, there is none so powerful in its finality, so chilling in its sense of an impending event as the knowledge that Death - grim, implacable Death - has cast his shadow on a life that custom and circumstance have rendered familiar. Whatever the personal feeling may be - whether dismay, despair, or relief - no man or woman can watch that advancing shadow without a quailing at the heart, an individual shrinking from the terrible, natural mystery that we must all face in turn - each for himself and each alone.
