I watched our young years flying away on the silent wings of time.
I never loved Bernice, even during the brightest days of her beauty. My loves have always been in the world of the mind.

Those hours of the night were like a page of strange writing that I could not understand.
I mean, the life in the world outside these walls, began to seem like a dream to me. The wild ideas, the dreams inside my head became my real world and then my whole life.
