Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us....

Where now this night is day,
And even through faith of still averted feet,
Making full circle of our banishment,
