Seite 332 - Here the moon shone out dimly on the left, and the water rippled coldly to the bank. ' How like that night,' said Harold to himself, as they approached the tree. It was like that night; and he who had been there in both, would have forgotten, as Harold did, for a moment, all that had intervened, all! of toil, and agony, and humiliation, and suffering, as a dream.
