Summary

This quote suggests that the power of words, expressed through writing (symbolized by the pen), is stronger and more enduring than physical violence (symbolized by the knife). While a knife can only kill a person once, words have the potential to significantly impact and harm individuals psychologically and emotionally repeatedly. It serves as a reminder that the lasting effects of verbal or written harm can be much more impactful than a single physical act of violence.

I remembered the bright silks and sparkling faces I had seen that day, in gala trim, swanlike sailing down the Mississippi of Broadway; and I contrasted them with the pallid copyist, and thought to myself, Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay; but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note -- torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
