Since I have abandoned the idea of regular lessons, I find that Helen learns much faster. I am convinced that the time spent by the teacher digging out of the child what she has put into him, for the sake of satisfying herself that it has taken root, is so much time thrown away. It's much better, I think, to assume that the child is doing his part, and that the seed you have sown will bear fruit in due time.

Como aquel buque avanzaba yo en la vida, antes de que principiase mi educación; pero yo carecía de sonda, de brújula y de todo medio de darme cuenta de la proximidad del puerto. ¡Luz, dadme luz! era el grito inarticulado de mi alma, y la luz del amor me iluminó en esa hora.
