"Be not far from me,for trouble is near: there is none to help."
It was near: and as I had lifted no petition to Heaven to avert it- as I had neither joined my hands,nor bent my knees,nor moved my lips- it came: in full heavy swing the torrent poured over me. The whole consciousness of my life lorn,my love lost,my hope quenched,my faith death-struck,swayed full and mighty above me in one sullen mass. That bitter hour cannot be described: in truth,"the waters came into my soul; I sank in deep mire: I felt no standing: I came into deep waters; the floods overflowed me."
