_____________________________________________________________
 I had bitter conviction that I was shut out forever from the immense fields of human activity. Many people doubted even the simplest things that I could do. Even when I wrote an article about blind and blindness, they asked what I could know about life! Full of physical health and spiritual impulse, I tugged and strained at the bars and bolts that would hold me within what was said to be my only world --- silent darkness ... (Then) it seemed as if a keen blast of sea air had freshened my whole being. I realized that no imprisoning conditions could back my spirit if I believed in myself and made allowance for others doubting me too ... I sensed a something that seemed to cancel physical limitations --- what shall I call it? I was moved forward towards the great, the endless --- to see no darkness anywhere but I might pierce it, ... to conceive no obstacles however great, but I might reach them and pass them.
