I made spasmodic efforts to work, assuring myself that once I began working I would forget her. The difficulty was in beginning.

I found myself horribly susceptible to small animals, ribbons in the hair of little girls, songs played late at night over lonely radios.

I moved painfully, an ambulatory case, mysteriously injured.
