A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy.

I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own absorbed mere image.
