There was a time when I lived in the strong
old castle of my sins, and rested in my works. There came a trumpeter to
the door, and bade me open it. I with anger chide him from the porch, and
said he never should enter.
Then there came a goodly personage, with loving countenance; his hands were marked with scars, where nails were driven, and his feet had nail-prints too.
He lifted up his cross, using it as a hammer at the first blow the gate of my prejudice shook; at the second it trembled more; at the third down it fell, and in he came.
