Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour

in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it?

that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...

prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

People will, in a great degree,

is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.

where it should be his humiliation.
