would mean so much that even the truth wouldn't
count some one she could love without logic,
without knowing or caring why, without enough
sense or sanity left to anayze it or to give it an
argument.
She fancied how she might give such one
Christmas present. Oh it might be only trinket
or it might plunge her into bankruptcy but with it
would go something she had never given, something
that she longed to give. And in return she would
get back something she had so long yearned for,
something she had never gotten.
Her many gifts seemed tawdry and mean to
her. They symbolized her kindly thoughts, yes;
but none went beyond that. There wasn't a child
in whose enjoyment of a gmcrack she could find
distinct quickening OF the heaH-beats, there
wasn't a mother in whose uplighted countenance
she could read thrill of vibrant thanksgiving for
life and love, there wasn't a man in whose eyes
she could realize throb OF that ecstatic hysteria
