It is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost

If the vision was true and mighty, as I know, it is true and mighty yet; for such things are of the spirit, and it is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost.

The eye is lost in all directions among the desolation where the multitude of men and women are hiding, as always and as everywhere. That is what is. Who will say, "That is what must be!"
I have searched, I have indistinctly seen, I have doubted. Now, I hope.

A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves

What a strange world in which a man cannot remain unique even by taking the trouble to go mad.

Lost among these entirely strange people.

How miserable is the condition of men when the better a thing is, the further it recedes from our sight and the less it is recognized.

Men forget where the way leads and what they meet with every day seems strange to them.We should not act and speak like men asleep.
