The wife and mother has come to a place where love cannot comfort her. where even the voice and words of love are so blent with her own misery that they seem to increase it. Imagine a magnificent orchestra play ing in a factors amid the rinjf of ham mers and the rattle and groaning of ma chinery The discords would dominate the hartnonv and the harmony itself merjfe into discords.
