Excerpt from From an Island Outpost
As work interpreting life has taught me, as life sustained by work has given me.
My first breathing spell in nine years; and during these nine years I have worked steadily, like a dray-horse, in the harness of necessity. Not once in all these years has that necessity loosened so much as a check-rein, - and there has been much uphill work, - to ease me mercifully till to-day.
No wonder I am sitting here in the kitchen of this island home, half-dazed, partly numb, and wholly dumb save for the sound of this pencil moving over the paper.
