Even the pains of loss may be less searching; and often of course these agonies combine, as now they did for me. I say remorse not repentance.

I shake my head in unfortunate assent...in any life age and stage to this necessary truth one must be able to maintain and without forced effort. Jealousy, dislike, envy, hatred are low-living, human traits, of a rejectable, and dejected nature.
