I do not know whether this will awaken a sympathetic lassitude in, say,

fifty per cent. of its readers, or whether my experience is unique and

my testimony simply curious. At anyrate, it is as true as I can make it.

Whether this is a mere mood, and a certain flagrant exhilaration my true

attitude towards things, or this is my true attitude and the exuberant

phase a lapse from it, I cannot say. Probably it does not matter. The

thing is that I find life an extremely troublesome affair. I do not want

to make any railing accusations against life; it is--to my

taste--neither very sad nor very horrible. At times it is distinctly

amusing. Indeed, I know nothing in the same line that can quite compare

with it. But there is a difference between general appreciation and

uncritical acceptance. At times I find life a Bother.
