Excerpt from The Quiet King: A Story of Christ

The quiet king is not a religious romance. Although written with the thought that truth embodied in a tale shall enter in at lowly doors, it is less a story even than a closely connected series of studies which draw all their interest and significance from one central figure. In them the writer has sought, with reverence which grew from more to more with every hour of study, to make real to herself and to others the impres sion made upon men and women of his generation by Jesus of Nazareth. To grasp and clothe in language the transcendent beauty of that life is more than one could hope to do, what alone is hoped for is to suggest this, if only in some faint degree.
