…to your white rages! Well I do know them though I call them black-no, I shall not quarrel about the colour. To me they come almost every day. When I see the maid dust my mantelpiece-which I pay her to do-I want not merely to slay her in the extremity of torment; I want to abolish her, to annihilate her-and the mantelpiece too and everything on it! I can hardly keep from roaring at her to get out and never darken my door again. This is not because she is doing it badly; doing it at all is a token of the unspeakable horror of existence.

The unknown again. The Bible does not tell us what it is; only that it is unpardonable . Nor Grace, nor Faith, nor Predestination avail in the least ; for all you know , you may have committed it. Reassurance is impossible ; no ceinture de chastete avails to avert this danger. Again with drugs, it is the unknown which is the horrific factor. …

Tartarin was abosoutely astonished that the men which whom he had been having such trouble behaved quite simply and naturally as soon as I was on the spot.

We've been eating five meals a day, one feeding like forty instead of Words- worth’s forty feeding like one. We had been starving ourselves for months, and we had to make up for it. The most delicious sensation of all is the re-birth of healthy human love. Spring coming back to the earth ! But it doesn’t satisfy, even so.
