See the muse unbars the gate!
"Specimens with Memoirs of the Less-known British Poets, Vol. 3"
George Gilfillan
We sin, we go far astray, we think mercy is exhausted, and the door shut against us; but when we truly repent and go back, and kneel, and pray to be forgiven, Christ Himself unbars the door and leads us in; and our Father, loving those whom He created, pardons all; and only requires that we sin no more.
"At the Mercy of Tiberius"
August Evans Wilson

"Mrs. Geoffrey"
