	Oct 9th 1858&#13;
One year ago yesterday since I said good&#13;
bye to Annie on the cars. Wanted to write&#13;
some last night but was too "deeply, darkly,&#13;
desperately," steeped in indigo to trust myself&#13;
with a pen only for the tedium of &#13;
copying. It is Saturday night once more, my &#13;
weeks work is done, or must be undone. Wonder&#13;
if I should be missed any, if that same &#13;
work could move along by some invisible&#13;
angency. Would any heart be lonely, any one&#13;
pine for my society? To know this, would be &#13;
a luxury; yet I often feel such a sense of&#13;
[underlined: "mental and spiritual isolation"] from all&#13;
mankind that I feel that I should no more be&#13;
missed ^than the leaf^ that falls from the tree "when summer&#13;
is green," and last night I felt this [underlined: "so keenly"]&#13;
that I could but weep, and yet perhaps I &#13;
make for myself all this wretched cheer, but&#13;
the feeling is none the less real. Could I hide &#13;
it all within, that it should leave no trace&#13;
of an unwritten hearthistory on my brow, I&#13;
should be content. But this cannot always &#13;
be, and I sometimes fancy that every face&#13;
is a mirror of the heart.</text>

["59" crossed out, "61" written to right]&#13;
wrote half a dozen pages of foolscap to Mrs S. then&#13;
went to bed but not to sleep, for I was wakeful and &#13;
could have written all night. The spirit was still &#13;
upon me all the forenoon, but I could not yield &#13;
to the mood for I had lots to do; but I've&#13;
done it all, and coaxed back the wayward fancies &#13;
and wrote a little while before supper. But to&#13;
night I'm dull and weary. Wish I could recall&#13;
the dreams of the morning and give them&#13;
form and shape on paper. But as that may&#13;
not be I'll write awhile to Annie &amp; [Laurie?]&#13;
	October 7th 1858&#13;
Wee-darlings are all asleep, the folks are all &#13;
out and I'm alone by a blazing fire. The wind&#13;
howls mournfully, oh how mournfully without,&#13;
and the cold autumn "rain is falling where&#13;
they lie." But who can tell the fate of the &#13;
dead, or the destiny of the living? Have &#13;
made a visit to day - a dull, dull one&#13;
though. There is more society in the solitude&#13;
of this room; and as I sit gazing at the gloomy&#13;
coals I can "dream and dream as make life&#13;
worth the living." Alas that they should ever&#13;
vanish into thin air and leave but a&#13;
void behind.</text>

Same Evening 24th&#13;
It is now nearly midnight - I've been sitting&#13;
up alone for an hour or two writing and &#13;
holding silent communion with a picture,&#13;
the shadowy face of Annie. Strange how &#13;
much of companionship I found in those&#13;
eyes to night and how much of inspiration&#13;
my spirit has caught from hers just now.&#13;
Since I had undressed I went as usual to&#13;
take one lingering look out upon the night.&#13;
"Gloriously beautiful! What a picture!" was&#13;
the first exclamation that comes from my&#13;
lips and I felt that such a picture of &#13;
silent beauty were worth living [but?] to look&#13;
upon. I'm happier now than I was two hours&#13;
ago. Wonder what is the reason. My pen, like &#13;
David's harp, has exorcised the blues, and I&#13;
feel that I shall ever be happier for this&#13;
silent vigil, and that I've seen the &#13;
glorious night scene. I could [illegible] till it &#13;
melts away into the glory of day but this &#13;
poor physique must have rest and sleep,&#13;
else it will be but a dog at best, so I will&#13;
take another look and then yield to the &#13;
demands of nature. </text>

                <text>Transcript: &#13;
&#13;
43&#13;
[...] under the life giving influence of the summer&#13;
sun. Failing, totally failing in this my dearest&#13;
aspiration, my soul ["if" crossed out, "is" written above] ever filled with sorrow&#13;
and sadness, for the loss to myself and family.&#13;
	Have been glancing over the foregoing pages,&#13;
and fear it is unprofitable work for me to trace on&#13;
paper, even these first shadows of the dark thoughts&#13;
of my own mind. But still I feel a sort of pleasure&#13;
if so strange a feeling may be called a pleasure, in &#13;
thus holding silent communion with myself. Yet&#13;
perhaps it were better if I never touched the pen, and &#13;
one minute I wish I did not love to, the next a &#13;
stronger, wild and vehement wish, gushes up from&#13;
my inmost soul, that I had time and leisure &#13;
to use it at my will. Have been talking with&#13;
Mrs Knight to day. It matter little what the theme,&#13;
she and I are always on the opposite side.&#13;
Wish I could annihilate space to night, and leaving &#13;
this body behind to prepare its duties unaided by&#13;
the intellect, while the spirit lingered by the side&#13;
of distant loved ones, But though the heart travels&#13;
away to there, it comes back unsatisfied. Will it &#13;
[underlined: "ever be satisfied below,"] ever raise the exultant&#13;
Eureka! over the full fruition of all its aspirations?&#13;
Never, no never, for this is not the lot of mortals.</text>
