Colby diary, p. 62 (October 9, 1858) Description An account of the resource Transcript: 62 Oct 9th 1858 One year ago yesterday since I said good bye to Annie on the cars. Wanted to write some last night but was too "deeply, darkly, desperately," steeped in indigo to trust myself with a pen only for the tedium of copying. It is Saturday night once more, my weeks work is done, or must be undone. Wonder if I should be missed any, if that same work could move along by some invisible angency. Would any heart be lonely, any one pine for my society? To know this, would be a luxury; yet I often feel such a sense of [underlined: "mental and spiritual isolation"] from all mankind that I feel that I should no more be missed ^than the leaf^ that falls from the tree "when summer is green," and last night I felt this [underlined: "so keenly"] that I could but weep, and yet perhaps I make for myself all this wretched cheer, but the feeling is none the less real. Could I hide it all within, that it should leave no trace of an unwritten hearthistory on my brow, I should be content. But this cannot always be, and I sometimes fancy that every face is a mirror of the heart. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Colby, Celestia R.
