And yet it is the language of our thoughts that tortures us more than any excess or deprivation of nature.

If time uses us as channels for the past - yes, that must be so, he said, as some people can speak to the dead.

Byron is an atheist and does not believe in life after death. We are haunted by ourselves, he says, and that is enough for any man.

The loss was inside of me as I had been inside of her. I lost something of myself.

Yet, I said to Shelley, you of all men believe in the soul. I do, he said; I believe it is each man's task to awaken his own soul. His soul is that part of him not subject to death and decay; that part of him made alive to truth and beauty. If he has no soul he is a brute.
