“I have not yet learned to live, that I can see, and I fear that I shall not very soon. I find, however, that in the long run things correspond to my original idea,—that they correspond to nothing else so much; and thus a man may really be a true prophet without any great exertion.

“Strung out and spotty, you wriggle and sigh
and kiss all the fellows and make them all die.”
