With dying eyes iixt on the rcscuing boat,

testant point of view, and introduces
the character of Ahasuerus, who, ac-
c0rding to legend, was a shoemaker in
Jerusalem The Savior, bearing his
cross past the house of the artisan, asks
to be allowed to rest a moment on the
stone bench at his door Go on" re-
plies Ahasuerus. Thou shalt go on till
the end Of time answers the Savior

find home, or rest, or even pause. The

in Paris in 1882. One hundred and fifty

Wandering Jew, who is also condemned

Good night to all my friends on shore;

And see and hear no mere.
