ABSTRACT

The pearl of Chastening, the last, which must not be wanting! It heightens the lustre and the meaning of the other pearls. Do you see the sheen of the rainbow-of the bow that unites heaven and earth! A bridge has been built between this world and the heaven beyond. Through the earthly night we gaze upward to the stars, looking for perfection. Contemplate it, the pearl of Chastening, for it hides within itself the wings that shall carry us to the better world.
