“There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken.

The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.”

No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose
To wage against the enmity o th air,
To be a comrade with the wolf and owl
Necessitys sharp pinch.”
