MY THYRSIS!

Oh, if I might only stay in a convent until you are ready to take
me! Since I left you I find myself possessed of cravings, which, if
I indulged them, might bring me the fate of the Maid of Neidpath!

Truly I have known some miserable moments. But I am trying very hard
to cultivate a happy, confident activity. The people here are
aggressive, and I am afraid I have been rude, which I never like to
be. I just succeeded in getting away from a young man who wanted to
walk to the village with me. Do you know, it would drive me
absolutely mad to talk to anyone now!

My soul has only one cry, and I could sometimes go out on the
mountain-side and scream it aloud to the winds. I fear I shall be a
trifle wild, in fact utterly in pieces, until you come, with that
wonderful recipe of yours for binding me together, and making me
complete. I think of you in your house, and wish to God I were
there, or out in the desert even, if you were with me.

When I passed through the city I felt exactly as if I were in Hades.
The glaring lights and the fearful rattle, the lazy, lounging men--I
had dinner in a restaurant, in which all the people seemed to be
feeding demons! It has been distinctly shown me why so many people
have thought you a rude unmannerly boy! I don't know what people
would think, if I had to be amongst them long.
