He carried the marks of those troubles still, perhaps because he had never learned that the way to heal one's own sorrows is to do what may be done for the healing of the sorrows of others.

And then, because you have tried so hard to live up to the pride and faith he had in you, to be told: "You know I am surprised that you haven't taken Carl's death harder. You seem to be just the same exactly." What is seeming? Time and time again, these months, I have thought, what do any of us know about what another person feels?

When he got down below the little valley he swung around to the left to cross the trail that came up from the main valley, some miles still farther down.
