aren't like that. They know
how to manage. They never
fade out like this.
BUT YOU'RE WRONG. Yours
isn't an exceptional expert
ence. 1t comes to everyone.
In that hard, wise, pitiful
story, JAMES SHORE Els
DAUGHTER" Stephen Vincent
Benet has told of another hui
man being who also felt that
Everything was over" Indeed,
that feeling of futility lay like a
disease over Gareth Grants
whole life. And so he describes
that black mood which you have
felt was yours alone:
IT dined by myself at a speak
easy and, when it grew late, I
still sat there. I was not drunk,
but I did not wish to move. I
did not wish to do anything. It
seemed to me as if, after al. the
struggle and passion, I had come
to a closed room in life"
"A CLOSED ROOM IN LIEF"
Sooner or later, we all come to
it. Not once, but again and
again, at inevitable intervals.
For that closed room is not
an accident, nor is it a sign of
personal sickness or failure. TT
IS A NATURAL PHASE OF
ALL HEALTHY LIVING.
Just as fields must lie fallow,
so must lives. It is not possible
for life to proceed at a sus-
tanned pitch of emotion. We
cannot always sting with eX-
element or eagernesS, flame
with delight, or even ache with
despair. There are times when
We must be empty-when life
must be a closed room.
Then what?
Why, then-keep cool! Don't
throw up your hands and decide
that everything'S over. Don't
go around spreading bitterness
and gloom. Nothing's wrong.
Life hasn't stopped. You haven't
failed. This is merely a part
of LIES rhythm. The resting
winter that comes before the
quickening spring. The trough
that lies between all wave creSts.
EVEN THOUGH FOR A
WHILE YOU CANNOT FEEL,
TT, YOU ARE ACTUALLY LIV-
ING AS MUCH NOW AS IN
LIES Widest HOUR-PER.
HAPS FAR MORE!
The room is not really closed.
It is only quiet. Stand steady.
Go on, making the gestures.
AND PRESENTLY YOU WILL
FIND AN OPENING DOOR,
