Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Saint Patrick, Vol. 2 of 3: A National Tale of the Fifth Century
One thing we know, that it is the only power which can wrestle with the passions, and tame them to submission and, howe ver strong theyomay appear, or however fierce they may rage, sleep never fails to strangle their violence. The poetical night thinker, therefore, belies, tir'd nature's sweet re storer, when he says she ?ies from woe On the contraryy'she is its only soother, and never ceases to hover round the pillow ofz agi tation till she still its workings. She has no power, however, over dreams, which come and depart without her bidding, and often conti nue or renew the mental struggle which she has succeeded for a moment to quell.
