Gone before / To that unknown and silent shore.

What is reading, but silent conversation.

It is good to love the unknown.

I have had playmates, I have had companions; In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days - All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I've been unknown for a while. It's normal to me. It just makes me work harder.

Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
