"By God," he thought, "I'm living in fantasy!
If I had control of my senses, I'd surely know
She's dead and drowned, lying on the floor of the sea."
And then he changed his tack, "Yet, although
That's reason itself, what if Christ might be
The force that brings me to her, just as he
Might well have ordered her journey out of Syria?"
