 her in permitting her to see two of her children crowned with the martyr's crown.

 sunshine in full play. It is a haunt of Peace, emblem of a gentle life, of a guide 

 who, like Eastern and Grecian sages, set up his school by babbling brook or still 

 tarn, in hidden glen or on open mountain side.
