The heaviest of burdens crushes us. We sink beneath it. It pins us to the ground. The heaviest of burdens is, therefore, 3)simultaneously an image of life ’s most intense 4)fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our e to the earth; the more real and truthful they e. 5)Conversely, the absolute absence ofa burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being and e only half real, his movements as free as they are 6)insignificant.

That night she came down with a fever and stayed a whole week in his flat with the flu. He e to feel an 9)inexplicable love for this all plete stranger.
