I see so much more than I used to see. The effect has been to depress and sadden and hurt me terribly.
I am tired. My arm aches. My head boils. My feet are cold. But I am not aware of any weakness.
I confess that reading proofs is a pleasure. It stimulates and inspires me.
Where I was raised a woman's word was law. I ain't quite outgrowed that yet.
Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.
Men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things.
