But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it. You are never giving, nor can you ever give, enough service. Diplomacy; the art of saying 'nice doggie' till you can find a rock. Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.
