SELF-SACRIFICE is perhaps the vilest deed a man can
do.
The self that we
are, at its best, is all that we are
is the very individual flame of life
itself
which is the
man’s pure self.
And
to sacrifice that, to anything or anybody whatsoever
is the vilest cowardice and
treachery.
Yet a
woman can add her flame to a man’s
or a man can add his flame to the flame of
another man
as a
gift of gladness, seeing the glamour of life go up
swifter and higher and
brighter, for the yielding and the
adding together.
