He insisted that I succeeded in cutting his work in half; and so it was that I schooled myself to understand his work.

Our interests became mutual, and we worked together and played together.
And then there were our sweet stolen moments in the midst of our work--just a word, or caress, or flash of love-light; and our moments were sweeter for being stolen.

For we lived on the heights, where the air was keen and sparkling, where the toil was for humanity, and where sordidness and selfishness never entered.

We loved love, and our love was never smirched by anything less than the best.

And this out of all remains: I did not fail.
