Excerpt from The Gayworthys: A Story of Threads and Thrums
OF threads and thrums: because a simple story of this mixed divine and human weaving we call Life; wherein are threads, - lines lying evenly along the loom, and made secure and perfect with a filling; wherein are also many thrums, - ends broken, or dropped midway, on reaching out unfinished lengths beyond the web. Wherein the fabric seems, so often, faulty; where much seems lost, left out, or wrongly joined; where correspondence is delayed, and full matched beauty missed; where colors are confused; where the pattern, being vast, may never quite unroll to earthly vision; where Patience keeps her foot upon the treadle, and Faith must stand, with fervent eyes, beside the springing shuttle, knowing Of breadths that shall be woven by and by!
