When The Gates Lift Up Their Heads is a novel written by Erskine Payne and published in 1912. The story revolves around the life of a young man named John, who is struggling to find his place in the world. John is a dreamer and a poet, but he is also a realist who knows that he needs to make a living. He takes a job as a clerk in a law firm, but he is unhappy and unfulfilled. One day, John meets a woman named Mary, who is also a dreamer and a poet. They fall in love and begin a passionate affair. However, their happiness is short-lived when Mary is diagnosed with a terminal illness. John is devastated and must come to terms with the fact that he will soon lose the love of his life. As Mary’s health deteriorates, John begins to question his beliefs about life and death. He turns to religion for comfort and guidance, but he is still haunted by the idea of losing Mary. When Mary finally passes away, John is left to pick up the pieces of his life and find a way to move on. When The Gates Lift Up Their Heads is a poignant and emotional story about love, loss, and the search for meaning in life. It explores the themes of mortality, faith, and the human condition in a way that is both thought-provoking and deeply moving.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
