Thou must return to the world; but not without punishment and strong effort canst thou regain the calm and the joy of the life thou hast left behind.
This, for thy comfort, will I tell thee: he who has drawn into his frame even so little of the volatile and vital energy of the aerial juices as thyself, has awakened faculties that cannot sleep,--faculties that may yet, with patient humility, with sound faith, and the courage that is not of the body like thine, but of the resolute and virtuous mind, attain, if not to the knowledge that reigns above, to high achievement in the career of men.

Thou wilt find the restless influence in all that thou wouldst undertake.

Thy heart, amidst vulgar joys will aspire to something holier; thy ambition, amidst coarse excitement, to something beyond thy reach.

But deem not that this of itself will suffice for glory.

Equally may the craving lead thee to shame and guilt.
