Many a man darkens his spirit, enfeebles his best part, blinds himself to the things beyond, by reason of his taking the liberty, as he says, which Christianity, broadly and generously interpreted, gives, of participating in all outward delights. I have said that asceticism is not the highest, but it is sometimes necessary.
There in one famous example they were shortly to excite the enthusiasm of the knight of La Mancha 'The reason of the unreason which is done to my reason in such manner enfeebles my reason that with reason I lament your beauty' a sentence which one is sometimes tempted to imagine Sidney must have set before him as a model.
For although reading and thinking break neither legs nor arms; yet, certainly, there is nothing that flags the spirits, disorders the blood, and enfeebles the whole body of Man, as intense studies. As for him that rives blocks or carries packs, there is no great expense of parts, no anxiety of mind, no great intellectual pensiveness. Let him but wipe his forehead, and he is perfectly recovered!
We should have nothing to do with the contracts between you and your tenants, if those contracts affected only pecuniary interests. But higher than pecuniary interests are at stake.

"My continued solitude only still further enfeebles me, and really my weakness often amounts to a swoon. His journal entries on this account, are the utterances of a creature at bay; of a being in the last extremity.
