THE FLAME THREATENS TO EXPIRE
A few days after Sonia had left I received a
line from her. The flame which had blazed up
so high and filled her heart with exulting hopes
was extinguished already. I have not kept her
letter, but I remember its contents.
‘I see that he and I will never fully
understand one another. I shall return to Stockholm
and work. Work must be my only consolation
hereafter.’
And then all was over. No more letters from
her this whole winter, nor the following spring,
except a few affectionate lines in May,
congratulating me on my wedding. She suffered, and
she did not want to show her wound to me, who,
she knew, was happy. She could never write on
indifferent matters, so she kept silent. At the
time this silence pained and hurt me very much;
afterwards I understood that she could not have
acted otherwise.
