Dorothy Day, the social activist who later became a devout Roman Catholic and continued to reach out to the poor, describes the turning point in her life when she experienced the "fullness of time" in a dramatic way.

Her transformation took place when O'Neill was reciting the poem "The Hound of Heaven," written some years previously by Francis Thomson.
