The Marble Faun Chapter L - Miriam, Hilda, Kenyon, Donatello

In which the gentle reader is invited to ponder the tangled skein of mysteries involving Hilda’s disappearance and reappearance, set against the solemn grandeur of the Pantheon and its inscrutable air, where contemplations on faith, sin, and human nature rise like prayers towards the open sky. Amidst tender confidences and shadowed revelations, the sculptor and Hilda resolve upon a hopeful future, while tremulous whispers of past secrets linger like the faint patina upon ancient marble.
