Explain the context of the following quote. Use character names, settings, etc. "He longed to speak out, from his own pulpit, at the full height of his
voice, and tell the people what he was. I, whom you behold in these black
garments of the priesthood, -I, who ascend the sacred desk, and turn
my pale face heavenward, taking upon myself to hold communion, in your
behalf, with the Most High Omniscience, - I, in whose daily life you
discern the sanctity of Enoch,-1, whose footsteps, as you suppose, leave
a gleam along my earinly track, whereby the pilgrims that shall come
after me may be guided to the regions of the blest.-I, who have laid the
hand of baptism upon your children,-1, who have breathed the parting
prayer over your dying friends, to whom the Amen sounded faintly from a
world which they had quitted, -1, your pastor, whom you so reverence
and trust, am utterly a pollution and a lie!"**
