It did not last long, for me at least; you, on the other hand, managed to retain the innocence of the child even while acquiring the knowledge of man. The germ of corruption that was in me grew fast, and gan grene pitilessly devoured all that I had of pure and holy. My friendship for you is the one good thing that has remained to me.
