I’m blinder than before. I did see, I really did. I was terrified by the raw truth of a world whose greatest horror is that it is so alive that for me to admit that I am as alive as it is – and my most hideous discovery is that I am as alive as it is – I shall have to raise my consciousness of life outside to so high a point that it would amount to a crime against my personal life.
