Summary

This quote encapsulates the idea that in the early stages of infancy, the baby perceives herself and her mother as inseparable entities, forming a profound union. When the mother exhibits attentive and empathetic responses to the baby's needs, a crucial element of sustaining life is provided which is deeply intertwined with the baby's sense of self and well-being. This highlights the importance of a nurturing and responsive mother-child relationship, as it plays a vital role in the infant's early development and sense of connection to the world.

On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itse

On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was -- to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.

In the study of the profession to which he had looked forwar

In the study of the profession to which he had looked forward all his life he found irritation and vacuity as well as serene wisdom; he saw no one clear path to Truth but a thousand paths to a thousand truths far-off and doubtful. ~ Ch. 2

We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; -- for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. -- Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not.
