In his sober and industrious periods, the mere thought of drink terrified him, and he would clutch Agnes, crying: "I have found my work, my peace, my joy . . . ! I will not say to you, my love, as a poet once said, that I will pluck the stars of heaven to hang them in your hair-I say to you there are no stars...
