The trustees of the church had been building a gasometer back of the church, and the night I speak of the building was for the first time to be lighted in the modern way.

But we found it had been snowing since the time we lived there, and heads that then were black are white now, and some of the eyes which looked up to us that memorable night when the gasometer failed us, thirteen years ago, are closed now, and for them all earthly lights have gone out for ever.

The romantic eyes of one of the greatest French poets once looked on that gasometer!
