Do I not indeed love you and _sympathise_ with you fully and deeply?
Yes, indeed.

On one subject I am afraid to touch.

But I _know_ why it is you feel so long, so unduly--so morbidly, in a sense.

People in general, knowing themselves to be innocently made to suffer, would take comfort in righteous indignation and justified contempt: but to you the indignation and contempt would be the worst part of suffering; you can't bear it, and you are in a strait between the two.

In fact, it relieves you rather to take part against yourself, and to conclude on the whole that there's something really bad in you calling on the pure Heavens for vengeance.
Yes, that's _you_.
