nothing can make life a burden to me. The gentle rain which waters my beans and keeps

criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but spectator,
sharing no experience, but taking note of it; and that is no more I than it is you.
When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It
was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
This doubleness may easily make us poor neighbors and friends sometimes. </p>
