+Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn, or
+misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me.  You do not know the secret
+cause which makes me seem that way to you.  From childhood on, my
+heart and soul have been full of the tender feeling of goodwill, and I
+was ever inclined to accomplish great things.  But, think that for six
+years now I have been hopelessly afflicted, made worse by senseless
+physicians, from year to year deceived with hopes of improvement,
+finally compelled to face the prospect of a lasting malady (whose cure
+will take years or, perhaps, be impossible).  Though born with a
+fiery, active temperament, even susceptible to the diversions of
+society, I was soon compelled to withdraw myself, to live life alone.
+[...] I endured this wretched existence--truly wretched for so
+susceptible a body, which can be thrown by a sudden change from the
+best condition to the very worst.--Patience, they say, is what I must
+now choose for my guide, and I have done so--I hope my determination
+will remain firm to endure until it pleases the inexorable Parcae to
+break the thread. [...] Recommend virtue to your children; it alone,
+not money, can make them happy.  I speak from experience; this was
+what upheld me in time of misery. [...] Do not wholly forget me when I
+am dead; I deserve this from you, for during my lifetime I was
+thinking of you often and of ways to make you happy--please be so--
