Wandering, in his need of self-isolation, up and down the dreary stone passages in the lower part of the house, Linley counted the hours, inexorably lessening the interval between him and the ordeal of confession to his wife.
The glib Countess remained entirely convinced that his anger was not at being seen, but at not being applauded when seen. How the whole nature of the man is poisoned; nothing but suspicion, self-isolation, fierce moody ways! He could not live with anybody.
Enough that this superstition began to be colored a little by fancy, and his fatalism somewhat mitigated by hope. Dreams of this kind did not tend to promote his efficiency in the communistic labors of the camp, and brought him a self-isolation that, however gratifying at first, soon debarred him the benefits of that hard practical wisdom which underlaid the grumbling of his fellow-workers.
He takes on himself the only dignity left to his defeated pride, practical self-isolation. He bears in his bosom this rankling thorn the hated Fremont he rode out to bring in a captive, is now "His Excellency John C. Fremont," the first American governor of California. With his flocks and herds scattered, his cattle and horses under heavy requisition, his cup is full.
But I do not think we have all the facts in this young man's case. If it were proved that he had an aversion to any color, it would greatly strengthen your case. His 'antipatia, as his man called it, must be one which covers a wide ground, to account for his self-isolation, and the color hypothesis seems as plausible as any.
The motives to self-isolation may be because youth feels its lack of physical or moral force to compete with men, or they may be due to the failure of others to concede to the exactions of inordinate egotism and are directly proportional to the impulse to magnify self, or to the remoteness of common social interests from immediate personal desire or need, and inversely as the number and range of interests seen to be common and the clearness with which social relations are realized.
In 1893 smallpox, ful-tang', came to Bontoc with a Spanish soldier who was in the hospital from Quiangan. Some five or six adults and sixty or seventy children died. The ravage took half a dozen in a day, but the Igorot stamped out the plague by self-isolation. They talked the situation over, agreed on a plan, and were faithful to it.
I do not see that lying is a fundamental sin. In the first place some lying, that is to say some unavoidable inaccuracy of statement, is necessary to nearly everything we do, and the truest statement becomes false if we forget or alter the angle at which it is made, the direction in which it points. In the next the really fundamental and most generalized sin is self-isolation.
By insisting specially on the immanence of God we get introspection, self-isolation, quietism, social indifference Tibet. By insisting specially on the transcendence of God we get wonder, curiosity, moral and political adventure, righteous indignation Christendom. Insisting that God is inside man, man is always inside himself. By insisting that God transcends man, man has transcended himself.
So strong a hold did this morbid love of self-isolation take upon me, that I left Florence on one occasion, after a stay of only three days, because I had seen the names of a Saxonholme family among the list of arrivals in the Giornale Toscano. Three years went by thus three springs three vintages three winters till, weary of wandering, I began to ask myself "what next?"
