It was simply that we grow dull with the passing years. We grow tired. We lose_ all true talent for grief or for faithfulness. We surrender to time.

There is a great satisfaction in remaining faithful; pehaps it is the greatest satisfaction of all. Even if no one knows about your faithfulness, even if no one values it.

I found symbolically relevant aspects of #CancerWard to our current scenario. #Solzhenitsyn25 showed compassion in his characters that is lacking in our own but then marvelously warm and empathetic characters, too.
His way of exploring how people react to tragedy & frustration is remarkable.

Solzhenitsyn...examines... the nature of the physical disease & the process whereby the patient, like the prisoner 'stripped of his outer bark & ready to be planed'--is revealed to himself, & sometimes transformed by the confrontation with death. NYT 1968 Patricia Blake
