"Had I died, it would have been self-destruction. I did not know my danger till the danger was removed: ... I wonder at my recovery, wonder that the very eagerness of my desire to live... did not kill me at once... I cannot express my own abhorrence of myself. Whenever I looked towards the past, I saw some duty neglected, or some failing indulged. Every body seemed injured by me."
