I’m more of a host than a guest.I like people to stay with me but do not care about staying with them,and usually say I am busy.I think the life without friends is regrettable;the life without quietness is terrible.
The only people I ask to stay with me are those I like.But I am still more delighted when they go,and the house is ours again.I feel that I may be mistaken in these guests,and this may happen at times.They leave me more room in which to live properly.My mind,like my body,wears its old clothes again.I like to think about life in this world,and it is not easy to do this when talkative people are all over the place.
With guests about,I find myself a solid.But as soon as they have gone.I expand into a gas again.And a gas can have more delight than solid.So Goodbye!—Good.
