When I begin a letter to you, the great difficulty is to leave off again. Oh: how warm it makes one feel to know there is one person in the world to whom one is everything! A lover is the most precious, the most marvellous possesion. No wonder people like having them! And 1 used to think that so silly Heavens! What an absurd person I have been. Why, love is the one thing worth having. Everything else talents, interests, arts, religion, learning, the whole 'tremblement', are so many drugs with . which the starved, the loverlees, try to drug their pangs, to put themselves to sleep. How strange and dreadful love is! Till you know it, you are so sure the world is very good and pleasant up in those serene, frost-bitten re gions where you stand alone, breath ing the thin air of family affection, shone upon gently by the mild and misty suu of general esteem. Then comes love, and pulls you down. For isn't it a descent? Isn't it? Somehow, though it is so great a glory, it's a coming-down as well down from the pride of absolute in dependence of tody and soul, down from the high-mightiness of indif. ference, to something fierce, hot and consuming.
