Overview

As in much of Mr. Graham's writing, the spiritual note is beautifully sounded in this work, which is reminiscent in a way of The Priest of the Ideal. Witness the following from one of the introductory pages, which well gives the keynote to the entire work: We are all seeking a face. It may be the dream face of the ideal, our own face as it ought to be, as we could wish it to be, or the face that we could love, or a face we once caught a glimpse of and then lost in the crowds and the cares. We seek a face of such celestial loveliness that it would be possible to fall down before it in the devotion of utter sacrifice. Some seek it desperately, others seek it ever hopefully, some forget and remember and then forget again and remember again. Others live their life in the consciousness of a promise that they shall see the face at some definite time by and by. The vision of it seems completely remote from some, and they live their life hardly and darkly, but there are others who are perpetually in the light of it, and they see all the common sight of the world transfigured by it. Each has his separate vision of the face. And as there is an infinite number and diversity of mankind, so the faces of the ideal are infinitely numerous and diverse. Yet as in truth we are all one, so all these faces are one, and all the loveliness is one loveliness. -The Overland Monthly
