INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
| He
often seems to contrast life with that of those who have loved more
after our fashion, and have more seeming weight in the world, and
always humbly as though he were only sure his way is best for him:
`Men going home glance at me and
smile and fill me with shame. I sit like a beggar maid, drawing my
skirt over my face, and when they ask me, what it is I want, I drop
my eyes and answer them not.'At another time, remembering how his
life had once a dfierent shape, he will say, `Many an hour I have
spent in the strife of the good and the evil, but now it is the
pleasure of my playmate of the empty days to draw my heart on to
him; and I know not why this sudden call to what useless
inconsequence.'
