A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!
It is a far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
It is a far, far better thing that I do now, then I have ever done before... it is a far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known before.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
