" And after the second year was over, the Soul said to the young Fisherman at night-time, and as he sat in the wattled house alone, " Lo! now I have tempted thee with evil, and I have tempted thee with good, and thy love is stronger than I am. Wherefore will I tempt thee no longer, but I pray thee to suffer me to enter thy heart, that I may be with thee even as before." " Surely thou mayest enter," said the young Fisherman, " for in the days when with no heart thou didst go through the world thou must have suffered." " Alas!" cried his Soul, " I can find no place of entrance, so compassed about with love is this heart of thine. "
