. . .
There was no God in his heart, he knew; his ideas were still in riot;
there was ever the pain of memory; the regret for his lost youth--yet
the waters of disillusion had left a deposit on his soul, responsibility
and a love of life, the faint stirring of old ambitions and unrealized
dreams. But--oh, Rosalind! Rosalind! . . .
"It's all a poor substitute at best," he said sadly.
And he could not tell why the struggle was worth while, why he had
determined to use to the utmost himself and his heritage from the
personalities he had passed. . . .
He stretched out his arms to the crystalline, radiant sky.
"I know myself," he cried, "but that is all."
Appendix: Production notes for eBook edition 11
The primary feature of edition 11 is restoration of em-dashes which
are missing from edition 10. (My favorite instance is "I won't belong"
rather than "I won't be--long".)
Characters which are 8-bit in the printed text were misrepresented in
edition 10. Edition 10 had some end-of-paragraph problems. A handful
of other minor errors are corrected.
Two volumes served as reference for edition 11: a 1960 reprint, and
an undated reprint produced sometime after 1948.
