What good things have happened since you've come here?

[Please tell him there are some good things]

Neither is a single source of light enough to illuminate the world.

Discover your own gladness.

I have mine. For all she is wonderful, I wanted to know that there is more going well than I can see.

To what end?

A reminder that things are not so bleak as they seem. That despite everything, there are some good things happening. Things to take heart and have faith in.

If your heart does not already know, fault is not with the cinnabar.

[The what about cinnamon]

It seems my heart is an unsteady thing.

( Cinnabar, peasant! )

Balance it.

[The what]

I'm trying to.

'Yet'?

Guilt and uncertainty aren't so simply countered.

What guilt harnesses a child?

[A very long pause]

I only wish I were so incapable of failure as you believe.

You are far from incapable.

Thank you.

Of failure.

( A few moments after: ) It is the way of men.

So it is.

You begrudge it.

I thought to. Certainly, I'd prefer not to be so lacking, but were I to wish to never fail, I don't know what sort of person that would be. I've already found that great wisdom doesn't suit me.

You are prone to impulse.

[Well]

A step down from reckless, I think.

You may choose to be a better man.

Do you never falter?
