Supplement 163
analysis of Ellen Key and her work will be
translated into the languages in which she
is discussed.
Ellen Key's open letter of thanks which the
press printed, I quote in full: "For the first
time in sixty years I ask the press to give place
to a personal communication, as I am unable
to thank privately all those who have cast
sunshine over the entrance to the autumn
of my life-work.
" Perhaps I should have expressed my thanks
by publishing those greetings in which many
have united. But I hope no one will interpret
this omission as wanting in gratitude.
"When I went away about the nth of
December, to seek perfect solitude, it was to
gather quietude for my memories, and for
self-examination. When you stand at the
milestone that tells you with certainty that
the greater road length lies behind you, then,
if ever, you need to hold a day of reckoning
with yourself. If you have heretofore re-
proached Life for having robbed you of so
much, of what you loved most, for having
denied you so much of what you most desired
—on such a day it is only self-accusations that
you hear, reproaches for your failures toward
people and for your neglect toward life itself.
