“All of a sudden the idea of leaving this ship–this narrow cabin where during long days I was able to shelter a heart cut off from everything, this sea which has been such a help to me–frightens me a little. To begin living again, speaking. People, faces, a role to play. I’ll need more courage than I feel capable of. Fortunately, I’m in good shape physically. There are moments, however, when I would like to avoid other human beings.”
