Produced by David Widger TWICE TOLD TALES SIGHTS FROM A STEEPLE By Nathaniel Hawthorne O! I have climbed high, and my reward is small. Here I stand, with wearied knees, earth, indeed, at a dizzy depth below, but heaven far, far beyond me still. O that I could soar up into the very zenith, where man never breathed, nor eagle ever flew, and where the ethereal azure melts away from the eye, and appears only a deepened shade of nothingness! And yet I shiver at that cold and solitary thought.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
