The weight of chris' disappearance
Had begun to lay down on me full-length.
Chris: "I have lived through much,
"and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness.
"a quiet secluded life in the country,
"with the possibility of being useful to people
"to whom it is easy to do good,
"and who are not accustomed to have it done to them.
"and work which one hopes may be of some use.
"then rest, nature, books, music,
"love for one's neighbor.
"such is my idea of happiness.
"and then, on top of all that, you for a mate,
"and children perhaps.
"what more can the heart of a man desire?"
