the revolving electric cross

Thursday, 19 March 1936
Let us not speak of it. This agony. Forget it. Find strength somehow to go on. Work to be done. Feel sometimes as though I could relinquish this life very easily. Last night I saw The Little Theater Play Ode To Liberty. Very amusing. Between acts stood at an open window and saw the revolving electric cross over a Union Avenue church. Same one when I first became ill – that Sat. night last March when I walked miles and miles with my heart nearly jumping out of my chest – That cross helped me that night. The cross and the money I gave the street beggar. And finally those new star-shaped leaves. A strange night. But I’ve had many since then.
