An Envelope with No Address

“Why do you sit there looking like an envelope with no address?”

From Chapter 25 of Mark Twain’s The American Claimant

An envelope with no address:

If it describes you, it means you’ve lost touch and can’t be found.

If it describes me, it means I’m directionless and all alone.

If my pain comes

through another person, rather than from within,

I think I might be able to live a little longer.
