And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out!

The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results.

If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.
