I failed, but I think the good intention pleased him. They +are forbidden, and he says I shall come to harm; but so I come to harm +through pleasing him, why shall I care for that harm? + + + +MONDAY.--This morning I told him my name, hoping it would interest him. +But he did not care for it. It is strange. If he should tell me his +name, I would care. I think it would be pleasanter in my ears than any +other sound. + +He talks very little. Perhaps it is because he is not bright, and is +sensitive about it and wishes to conceal it. It is such a pity that he +should feel so, for brightness is nothing; it is in the heart that the +values lie. I wish I could make him understand that a loving good heart +is riches, and riches enough, and that without it intellect is poverty. + +Although he talks so little, he has quite a considerable vocabulary. +This morning he used a surprisingly good word. He evidently recognized, +himself, that it was a good one, for he worked in in twice afterward, +casually. It was good casual art, still it showed that he possesses a +certain quality of perception. Without a doubt that seed can be made to +grow, if cultivated. + +Where did he get that word? I do not think I have ever used it. + +No, he took no interest in my name. I tried to hide my disappointment, +but I suppose I did not succeed. I went away and sat on the moss-bank +with my feet in the water. It is where I go when I hunger for +companionship, some one to look at, some one to talk to. It is not +enough--that lovely white body painted there in the pool--but it is +something, and something is better than utter loneliness. It talks when +I talk; it is sad when I am sad; it comforts me with its sympathy; it +says, "Do not be downhearted, you poor friendless girl; I will be your +friend." It IS a good friend to me, and my only one; it is my sister. + +That first time that she forsook me! ah, I shall never forget that +--never, never. My heart was lead in my body! I said, "She was all I +had, and now she is gone!" In my despair I said, "Break, my heart; I +cannot bear my life any more!" and hid my face in my hands, and there +was no solace for me. And when I took them away, after a little, there +she was again, white and shining and beautiful, and I sprang into her +arms! + +That was perfect happiness; I had known happiness before, but it was not +like this, which was ecstasy. I never doubted her afterward. Sometimes +she stayed away--maybe an hour, maybe almost the whole day, but I waited +and did not doubt; I said, "She is busy, or she is gone on a journey, +but she will come." And it was so: she always did. At night she would +not come if it was dark, for she was a timid little thing; but if there +was a moon she would come. I am not afraid of the dark, but she is +younger than I am; she was born after I was. Many and many are the +visits I have paid her; she is my comfort and my refuge when my life is +hard--and it is mainly that. + + + +TUESDAY.--All the morning I was at work improving the estate; and I +purposely kept away from him in the hope that he would get lonely and +come. But he did not. + +At noon I stopped for the day and took my recreation by flitting all +about with the bees and the butterflies and reveling in the flowers, +those beautiful creatures that catch the smile of God out of the sky and +preserve it! I gathered them, and made them into wreaths and garlands +and clothed myself in them while I ate my luncheon--apples, of course; +then I sat in the shade and wished and waited. But he did not come. + +But no matter. Nothing would have come of it, for he does not care for +flowers. He called them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and +thinks it is superior to feel like that. He does not care for me, he +does not care for flowers, he does not care for the painted sky at +eventide--is there anything he does care for, except building shacks to +coop himself up in from the good clean rain, and thumping the melons, +and sampling the grapes, and fingering the fruit on the trees, to see +how those properties are coming along? + +I laid a dry stick on the ground and tried to bore a hole in it with +another one, in order to carry out a scheme that I had, and soon I got +an awful fright. A thin, transparent bluish film rose out of the hole, +and I dropped everything and ran! I thought it was a spirit, and I WAS +so frightened! But I looked back, and it was not coming; so I leaned +against a rock and rested and panted, and let my limbs go on trembling +until they got steady again; then I crept warily back, alert, watching, +and ready to fly if there was occasion; and when I was come near, I +parted the branches of a rose-bush and peeped through--wishing the man +was about, I was looking so cunning and pretty--but the sprite was gone. +I went there, and there was a pinch of delicate pink dust in the hole. I +put my finger in, to feel it, and said OUCH! and took it out again. It +was a cruel pain. I put my finger in my mouth; and by standing first on +one foot and then the other, and grunting, I presently eased my misery; +then I was full of interest, and began to examine. + +I was curious to know what the pink dust was. Suddenly the name of it +occurred to me, though I had never heard of it before. It was FIRE! I +was as certain of it as a person could be of anything in the world. So +without hesitation I named it that--fire. + +I had created something that didn't exist before; I had added a new +thing to the world's uncountable properties; I realized this, and was +proud of my achievement, and was going to run and find him and tell him +about it, thinking to raise myself in his esteem--but I reflected, and +did not do it. No--he would not care for it. He would ask what it was +good for, and what could I answer? for if it was not GOOD for something, +but only beautiful, merely beautiful-- + +So I sighed, and did not go. For it wasn't good for anything; it could +not build a shack, it could not improve melons, it could not hurry a +fruit crop; it was useless, it was a foolishness and a vanity; he would +despise it and say cutting words. But to me it was not despicable; I +said, "Oh, you fire, I love you, you dainty pink creature, for you are +BEAUTIFUL--and that is enough!" and was going to gather it to my breast. +But refrained. Then I made another maxim out of my head, though it was +so nearly like the first one that I was afraid it was only a plagiarism: +"THE BURNT EXPERIMENT SHUNS THE FIRE." + +I wrought again; and when I had made a good deal of fire-dust I emptied +it into a handful of dry brown grass, intending to carry it home and +keep it always and play with it; but the wind struck it and it sprayed +up and spat out at me fiercely, and I dropped it and ran. When I looked +back the blue spirit was towering up and stretching and rolling away +like a cloud, and instantly I thought of the name of it--SMOKE!--though, +upon my word, I had never heard of smoke before. + +Soon brilliant yellow and red flares shot up through the smoke, and I +named them in an instant--FLAMES--and I was right, too, though these +were the very first flames that had ever been in the world. They +climbed the trees, then flashed splendidly in and out of the vast and +increasing volume of tumbling smoke, and I had to clap my hands and +laugh and dance in my rapture, it was so new and strange and so +wonderful and so beautiful! + +He came running, and stopped and gazed, and said not a word for many +minutes. Then he asked what it was. Ah, it was too bad that he should +ask such a direct question. I had to answer it, of course, and I did. +I said it was fire. If it annoyed him that I should know and he must +ask; that was not my fault; I had no desire to annoy him. After a pause +he asked: + +"How did it come?" + +Another direct question, and it also had to have a direct answer. + +"I made it." + +The fire was traveling farther and farther off. He went to the edge of +the burned place and stood looking down, and said: + +"What are these?" + +"Fire-coals." + +He picked up one to examine it, but changed his mind and put it down +again. Then he went away. NOTHING interests him. + +But I was interested. There were ashes, gray and soft and delicate and +pretty--I knew what they were at once. And the embers; I knew the +embers, too. I found my apples, and raked them out, and was glad; for I +am very young and my appetite is active. But I was disappointed; they +were all burst open and spoiled. Spoiled apparently; but it was not so; +they were better than raw ones. Fire is beautiful; some day it will be +useful, I think. + + + +FRIDAY.--I saw him again, for a moment, last Monday at nightfall, but +only for a moment. I was hoping he would praise me for trying to +improve the estate, for I had meant well and had worked hard. But he was +not pleased, and turned away and left me. He was also displeased on +another account: I tried once more to persuade him to stop going over +the Falls. That was because the fire had revealed to me a new passion +--quite new, and distinctly different from love, grief, and those others +which I had already discovered--FEAR. And it is horrible!--I wish I had +never discovered it; it gives me dark moments, it spoils my happiness, +it makes me shiver and tremble and shudder. But I could not persuade +him, for he has not discovered fear yet, and so he could not understand +me. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's Eve's Diary, Part 2, by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK EVE'S DIARY, PART 2 *** + +***** This file should be named 8527.txt or 8527.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/8/5/2/8527/ + +Produced by David Widger and Cindy Rosenthal + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
