They knew not what we had done , but felt no shame or anger . Rather they were glad for us , and blessed us , as would he , who loved all men . And after three long , lonely days , like years , in which I roamed the gardens of my grief seeking for him , my one friend who had gone from me , he rose from sleep , at dawn , and showed himself to me before all others . And took me to him with the love that now forever dares to speak its name .
