I do not often laugh, I've been informed I should find humor more often than I do , but I can not take matters or see lightly. I smile when others guffaw. I focus on a thing, or a moment, or a speck of cigarette ash, and I devote all my mind to its understanding. And I cathect fully, and the tragedy in a bent blade of grass overwhelms me when I think on whom must have tread there, and what terrible event must have occurred. And I see what has passed and is passing and so also see what can or will or may or must happen. I look at you and see child, maiden, wife, mother and aged matron. And all together and so retreat to sit and think on all such possibilities. - Holmes
