First, I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me: I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.
