And slowly faded.
Laid the pencil down — Why not ? Are there not books enough ? Is man A sick child that must be amused by songs.
Or be made sicker with their foolish noise ?
Digitized by VjOOQIC i: 133 2 Then illness came : I should have argued, onoe^ That the ill body gave me those ill thoughts; But I have learned that spirit, though it be Subtile, and hard to trace, is mightier Than matter, and I know the poisoned mind Poisoned its shell. Three days of fever-fire Burned out my strength, leav...ing me scarcely power To reach the brook's side and my scanty food.
What would I not have given to hear the voice Of some one who would raise my throbbing head And shade the fevering sun, and cool my hand In her moist palms ! But I lay there, alone.
Blessed be sickness, which cuts down our pride And bares our helplessness. I have had new thoughts.
I think the fever burned away some lies Which clogged the truthful currents of the brain.
Am I quite happy here ? Have I the right.
As wholly independent, to scorn men ?
