Opis: Apologia Diffidentis (Classic Reprint) - Leith W. Compton

Excerpt from Apologia Diffidentis

"I am naturally bashful; nor hath conversation, age, or travel been able o effront or enharden me." Sir Thomas Browne

In the matter of avowals the diffident never speak if they can write. That is why my apology for a furtive existence is here set down in solitude instead of being told face to face. You have borne so many years with my unresponsive and incomprehensible ways that shame at last constrains me to this poor defence; for I must either justify myself in your sight, or go far away where even your kindness cannot reach me. The first alternative is hard, but the second too grievous for impaired powers of endurance; I must therefore find what expression I may, and tell you how my life has been beshrewed ever since, a boy of twelve, I first incurred the obloquy of being shy.
