Writing is such a lonely work that I try to keep myself cheered up.

I bought every kind of machine that's known-
Grinders, shellers, planters, mowers,
Mills and rakes and ploughs and threshers-
And all of them stood in the rain and sun,
Getting rusted, warped and battered,
For I had no sheds to store them in,
And no use for most of them.
And toward the last, when I thought it over,
There by my window, growing clearer
About myself, as my pulse slowed down,
And looked at one of the mills I bought-
Which I didn't have the slightest need of,
As things turned out, and I never ran-
A fine machine, once brightly varnished,
And eager to do its work,
Now with its paint washed off-
I saw myself as a good machine
That Life had never used.

It is no wonder that we make terrible choices in our lives to avoid loneliness.

You put yourself in the right place to get left.

As long as this exists, and that should be forever, I know that there will be solace for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances. I firmly believe that nature can bring comfort to all who suffer.

I feel profoundly alone, cut off, unattractive…I feel unloveable. But I respect that unloveable solider — struggling to survive, struggling to be honest, just, honourable. I respect myself.
