Summary: "The Gathering of Brother Hilarius" by Michael Fairless is a romance novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story explores the inner struggles of a young novice named Hilarius, who grapples with the tensions between his monastic duties and the enchantments of the worldly life he has long been sheltered from. Set against the backdrop of the Black Death, it delves into themes of love, longing, and the quest for spiritual truth. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Hilarius standing at the gates of his monastery, where he is overtaken by a sense of yearning for the outside world. As he gazes down the road, he is torn between his commitment to the cloistered life and the allure of the forest that beckons him. His encounter with a spirited young dancer reveals the complexities of love and desire, complicating his innocent understanding of the world. As Hilarius contemplates the meaning of love, guided by the inspired words of the people he meets, he begins a journey that promises to oscillate between divine calling and human affections, setting the stage for a profound exploration of faith and love in a tumultuous time.
