And so a shadow of obscurity has kept you from anyone putting you to the test, while I've never been eager to learn someone else's misdeeds. But I've always thought it better to cover my own shortcomings than to root out someone else's.
And therefore, it's turned out rather badly for me. You have the upper hand, because one of us is stuck in the spotlight and the other guy looks at him from the shade. Certainly, you pass judgment quite easily from the shadows on what I'm doing in an open and crowded place, while you yourself, because you're hidden and flee the light, aren't striking in the same way to me.
