Note 11: I am in despair, I have no desire to live; let me alone, for my days are but a breath. What is man, that you make so much of him and turn your thoughts towards him, only to punish him morning after morning or to test him every hour of the day?

Note 12: I tried hard to preserve my self-respect; but I was struggling alone in the powerful grasp of the demon Slavery; and the monster proved too strong for me. I felt as if I was forsaken by God and man; as if all my efforts must be frustrated; and I became reckless in my despair.
