“I was destitute of her, and it was a pleasure to weep in your sight over her and for her, over myself and for myself. The tears that I had held back, I gave leave to flow as much as they wanted, spreading them out where my heart could see them; and I found rest in them, for in them were your ears - not the ears of some man, who might look on my weeping with con-tempt.“

“Without you, what am I to myself but a guide to my own self-destruction?” Pg. 52
