THE HOUSE OF RABY.

THE HOUSE OF RABY;

OR,

OUR LADY OF DARKNESS.

"Hush! whisper whilst we talk of her! *

She is the defier of
God. She also is the mother of lunacies and the suggestress of suicides.
*** She carries no key, for though coming rarely among men she
storms all doors at which she is permitted to enter at all. And her name
is Mater Tenebrarum,-Our Lady of Darkness."

DE QUINCEY's "Suspiria de Profundis."

"Of love that never found his earthly close,
What sequel?"

TENNYSON'S "Love and Duty."
