Every time I have tried to compose my thoughts they have come back and begun chattering again. And so I can only pace about, and then rush out into the street and wear myself sick.

The maddening shine of the moon held my eyes, and I walked in the road like a fool, watching her till at last, bringing my eyes down, the telegraph-posts were small as blades of grass on the hill-side and the shining ribbon tracks in the mud on the road ran up the hill for ever.

None but heaven will ever know what I have suffered and am suffering now. Oh, Phillip! Phillip! why is your image ever before me! Why do you approach me with your grave but kind face and hold out your hand in tenderest sympathy! Oh, my heart, it is maddening! Why was I born to such feeling! Why was I cursed with the susceptibilities of a warm and loving heart!
