I am afraid of what is happening to me... Sounds all around me are beginning to fade. They are warbling like the sounds of a dove, when I know those that are speaking are clear...
The sounds of water do not rush and flow like it one did... It is more of a trickle or a quiet drop that fades into nothingness...
Also my eyesight has been giving me trouble... I fear that soon I will not be able to place coal to parchment and may have to turn to another to write down my thoughts...
In all of my long years I have never felt such things... I hope it is just a minor ailment...
