I may perhaps be able to draw a general conclusion from it all-but no, that is too much to expect. I shall try to set down what I can remember, what has remained in my mind of the sequence of events. I said “poisoned” I should have said that I have ever since borne, and will bear for ever, the brand-mark of that cautery. The evil impression which it left has, to a degree that surpasses human understanding, poisoned my life for all time to come. It concerned me personally and it so shattered my entire being that I shall never be able to drive the thought of it out of my mind.
I propose to deal with only one case of this disease.
Will anyone ever penetrate the secret of this disease which transcends ordinary experience, this reverberation of the shadow of the mind, which manifests itself in a state of coma like that between death and resurrection, when one is neither asleep nor awake?
