The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

Although
I
am
in
trouble
at
this
time,
Verily,
I
shall
be
doubly
repaid;
When
the
call
comes
to
me
from
my
Saviour,
I
shall
receive
mercy
and
new
grace;
I
fear
no
more
vexation,
When
I
ascend
to
be
with
Thy
saints;
O
Thou
that
sittest
on
the
throne,
Assist
my
speaking
and
accept
my
prayer.
O
God,
make
me
mindful
Night
and
day
to
be
praying,
Seeking
pardon
richly
For
what
I
have
done,
on
my
knees.
Stir
with
the
spirit
of
Truth
True
repentance
in
my
bosom,
That
when
Thou
sendest
death
to
seek
me,
Christ
may
take
care
of
me.
The
bocan
was
not
the
only
inhabitant
of
the
spirit-world
that
Donald
Ban
encountered
during
his
lifetime.
A
cousin
of
his
mother
was
said
to
have
been
carried
off
by
the
fairies,
and
one
night
Donald
saw
him
among
them,
dancing
away
with
all
his
might.
Donald
was
also
out
hunting
in
the
year
of
the
great
snow,
and
at
nightfall
he
saw
a
man
mounted
on
the
back
of
a
deer
ascending
a
great
rock.
He
heard
the
man
saying,
"Home,
Donald
Ban,"
and
fortunately
he
took
the
advice,
for
that
night
there
fell
eleven
feet
of
snow
in
the
very
spot
where
he
had
intended
to
stay.
We
now
take
two
modern
Icelandic
cases,
for
the
purpose
of
leading
up
to
the
famous
Icelandic
legend
of
Grettir
and
Glam
the
Vampire,
from
the
Grettis
Saga.
It
is
plain
that
such
incidents
as
those
in
the
two
modern
Icelandic
cases
(however
the
effects
were
produced)
might
easily
be
swollen
into
the
prodigious
tale
of
Glam
in
the
course
of
two
or
three
centuries,
between
Grettir's
time
and
the
complete
formation
of
his
Saga.
